What will happen on the day?
You will start the session getting to know your fellow makers, and looking at examples of what you will be making. You will also be supplied with everything you need including pad, pencil, silver and tools.
After measuring the finger you'd like to wear your rings on we will work out how much silver you will need. You will then bend and form the silver to make your rings, and solder and texture them before applying a bright or satin finish.
For and additional £30 per ring you can also opt to yellow gold or, rose gold plate you rings for that extra richness or contrast. This is outsourced to professional platers so will need to be collected or posted to you a few week later.
We will end the workshop admiring your creative achievements!
