In this 3 hour morning workshop you will be making a silver ring from scratch.
You don’t need to be arty or good at drawing to design and make a unique piece of jewellery.
You’ll learn the fundamental skills step-by-step from our expert tutor who will guide you so that by the end of the session you will have an amazing polished ring to wear home with pride!
You will be shown how to hammer texture and use the metal stamping tools (if you would like to explore putting text, numbers, or symbols on the inside or outside of your ring). You can create a secret message on the inside of your ring that only you will see, or you can have it as part of the design of your ring if put on the outside. Many people incorporate both texturing and stamping into their designs, with no two being exactly alike – the creative freedom is yours!
You will learn to silver solder with gas torches, hammer texture, stamp, form, and polish. You get a variety of silver widths to choose from, so that everyone ends up with a completely different shaped and uniquely personal ring.
