Metal Texturing Silver Ring Making Masterclass

3 hrs
(5)

Twisting, punching, hammering, embossing! These are some of the techniques you will learn in this 3-hour ring-making workshop where you will learn the fundamentals of silver jewellery making!

The possibilities really are endless as to what surface texture you can create on silver with a little imagination, and you will be able to play and experiment to your heart's content and create a unique, wearable piece of art to take away at the end of the session!

This masterclass is suitable for complete beginners, or those with some previous jewellery-making experience that would like to experiment further with texture on metal. The small class size means that you'll get plenty of one-on-one help to bring tour creation to life.

What to expect:

  • Make your first design in copper before making it from silver
  • Learn about the materials and tools used in silver jewellery making
  • One-on-one help from an experienced jeweller
  • All materials and tools provided included
  • Refreshments provided throughout the session

Use a variety of different tools and techniques to create your personalised piece, from letter punches to the rolling mill to replicate the texture of many fabrics, papers, laces and more!

Please note, sessions run with a minimum of 2 participants. In the unlikely event that you have booked a session that does not meet the minimum requirements, the class will be rescheduled to another suitable date.

Age restrictions: 18+

Adult £90
