3 Silver Stacking Rings

Picture

Class level:
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: 
During this class you have the choice of making either 3 stacking rings or one thicker silver band. You can choose whether to leave them plain, or you can texture the bands using texture hammers or create wavy designs with our ring dies. We also have a selection of pre-patterned wire you can choose from. Each ring can be worn on its own, or all three stacked together.

During this class you will learn some traditional jewellery making techniques such as how to size, texture and solder the ring bands. The aim of this class is to give you the opportunity to make a piece of jewellery that you can take home and wear with pride. All materials provided.

We will also s have silver accents which which you can solder onto your rings. 

At the end of this course you will go home with either a solid band or 3 lovely stacking silver rings.

This intimate unisex class which is held in our Liverpool workshop, is also 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.
