Silver Ring Workshop

Picture
Class level:
Beginner's Introductory workshop, suitable for those with no previous experience and a great taster class for those taking their first steps into jewellery making.

All ages welcome. You are never too young or old to learn a new skill.
​

Outline: 
You have the choice of making either a solid silver band or 3 x silver stacking rings.  You can texture your bands with hammers and stamps, and for the stacking rings, we have a range of lovely pre-patterned wires you can also choose from, alternatively you can use plain wires and use our metal dies  to create wonderful wavy patterns.

You will learn some traditional jewellery making techniques such as:
  • How to size your ring
  • How to thread your saw and cut your metal
  •  How to  use dies to make your rings wavy

This unisex class which is held 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, and it might even be the start of a new career.
​
Ages: 16 and over. For those under 18 you will need written consent from a parent.
