In this engaging jewellery making workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own beautiful silver ring from start to finish. You will incorporate striking textured elements to make your piece uniquely yours.
Under expert guidance you’ll discover traditional metalworking techniques whilst crafting a silver or gold fill ring you’ll be proud to wear or gift.
This taster session is perfectly suited for complete beginners – no jewellery making experience needed.
The relaxed, supportive environment allows you to explore learning at a comfortable pace, with expert demonstration and assistance at every step.
During this hands on session, you’ll master essential silversmithing skills including:
Precise measuring and sizing for the perfect fit
Professional filing and forming techniques
Safe and effective soldering methods
