Create your own ring stack from copper, brass, and sterling silver in this fun and rewarding jewellery workshop. Guided by experienced and supportive tutors, you’ll be introduced to the fundamental skills of jewellery making while creating a small collection of rings to take home. During this 3-hour class, you’ll learn how to measure your finger, cut metal to size, and add textures and patterns using hammers and punches. You’ll also be shown how to solder your rings with a jeweller’s torch, before finishing them with filing, sanding, and polishing techniques. By the end of the session, you’ll have crafted a thick sterling silver ring and a stack of copper or brass rings, including two plain round wires to texture as you like, and a choice of decorative brass pearl wire or square wire. This class is ideal for beginners, groups of friends, or visitors wanting a memorable creative experience. Many students find jewellery making a mindful activity, offering a chance to slow down, work with their hands, and enjoy the rhythm of making. The class fee includes all materials and consumables, such as solder, sandpaper, and polishing materials. Extra silver and other metals will be available for purchase in the studio for those who would like to expand their collection or upgrade one of their brass or copper wires to a second silver one. Children aged 12 and over are welcome. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver.
