Description

In this workshop, we’ll use off-cut pieces of sterling silver to create a ring-shaped pendant. You’ll experience the magic of molten silver as we shape it into a truly unique piece of jewellery. In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll use a torch to melt silver, then file and sand it to achieve a beautifully shiny, unique piece of jewellery.
