Pierced Napkin Ring
Coming soon!!
What is a Silversmith?
People often get confused between a jeweller and a silversmith.  As the name implies, a jeweller designs and creates all things jewellery related, but  a silversmith is a metalworker who crafts objects, tableware, cutlery and vessels from silver or other precious metals - E.g vases, containers, bowls, wine coasters candlestick holders and cocktail stirrers.
​

Class level:
Intermediate and above. Suitable for those who have good piercing skills
All ages welcome. You are never too old to learn a new skill.
​

Outline: 
The aim of this class is to give you the opportunity to experiment with silver ware, by making a pierced ( cut out)  napking ring

For this class you will make the  serviette ring in copper or brass - however if you'd like to do it in silver, you can either supply your own silver, or contact Tracy to purchase silver on the day. 

You will pierce out your chosen design - either your own, or we have a couple of design sketches which you could choose from.
Depending on your piercing skills, these designs can be as simple or as complex as you like. 
​

This intimate unisex class in our Liverpool workshop, is a great environment to develop your creativity and do something fun with like-minded people. It also offers the opportunity to make lovely original gifts . This is suitable for students who are confident in their piercing and soldering skills.

​The course runs for 4 hours, but can on occasion run over to allow students to complete  their project. 
Please bring a packed lunch with you.
