Description

Sarah or Violeta will welcome you at 10 am and serve you tea or coffee...and by 2:30 pm you will have made your own wrapped ring! Using traditional silversmithing techniques and tools you will learn how to cut out your silver with a jeweller's saw. You will ensure the perfect shapes are filed. You will decide on your own combination of textures and finishes. The option available to you is using sterling silver in sheet or wire form. Then, you will learn the annealing technique using a blowtorch, which softens the metal for shaping with jeweller's hammers. You will be experimenting with texture, creating a range of samples before selecting your favourite that you will use on your ring. Next is the cleaning and refining stage, which can be extremely satisfying if you are a perfectionist! Materials not included The course price does not include materials, so please be mindful of this when you think about what you would be interested in making, but we can explain this to you before you start your project.   We sell all the materials required for your project. Most of our students spend £20 – £50. No experience necessary. This workshop is suitable for those with no experience or for those who want to come back and work on their own projects. Our students have described the workshops as "relaxing, therapeutic, fun, creative, enjoyable, addictive and great value."
