There are no dates at present for this particular workshop. However, by arrangement we can organise a private workshop for your group of 4 – 6 people.
Create two beautiful silver rings in a day, each with a unique personalised twist…The perfect gift for a loved one or your own special keepsake. Embellish your jewellery with letter stamps and motifs, adding your own decoration or message.
This workshop offers a great introduction to silversmithing – or the chance to brush up existing skills. You will learn how to cut, shape, stamp and solder. Choose your preferred finish, whether textured, hand hammered or polished smooth.
“There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and help was given kindly and professionally”
