Inspired by the wild beauty of the Cornish coast where sea foam catches the light as waves roll over rock and shore, this full-day workshop invites you to create your own tactile, sea-inspired ring using the ancient art of granulation.
Working with recycled sterling silver, you’ll learn how to transform tiny fragments of metal into delicate silver spheres, before carefully fusing them onto your ring to create a surface that echoes clusters of sea bubbles - organic, luminous, and full of movement.
Granulation is one of the oldest jewellery-making techniques in the world, dating back over 3,000 years. Long before modern tools, ancient artisans perfected the skill of forming and fusing miniature silver spheres into intricate, decorative patterns.
This workshop is designed especially for complete beginners. You’ll be guided through each stage at a relaxed, supportive pace, from forming your ring band to your size to creating and applying your granules, finishing with a beautifully unique piece of jewellery to take home.
If you already have some silversmithing experience and are looking for a shorter session, a half-day variation of this workshop can be arranged where you bring in a ring or piece of jewellery you have made in advance - please get in touch to discuss.
