Carve your own silver ring
What you'll do
Create your own silver ring using a variety of carving tools and techniques, to create a completely bespoke piece of jewellery.
Sarah will have a range of visual aids ready including a variety of rings and images to help you choose your ring style and finish. You'll then carve your ring from jeweller's wax, learning the ancient ‘lost wax’ technique. Once you’ve sculpted your ring in wax, it will be cast in silver and polished ready for you to collect two weeks later.
