Make a Sterling Silver Hammered Ring – Saturday Afternoon

benchspace Bites are introductory hands-on sessions designed to give beginners a taste of our craft disciplines.
Whether a hobbyist, enthusiast or considering a career in jewellery-making, we will explore fundamental skills and you will create your very own piece in a single class.

Spend a creative Saturday afternoon with tutor Nadine and learn to make your own sterling silver ring in this 3-hour jewellery-making class.
Start by exploring a selection of sample designs for inspiration, then practice your pattern on copper before moving on to silver.  You'll choose between crafting a chunky 6mm band or two slimmer 3mm stacking bands, find your finger size, and get started.
Nadine will guide you step by step through shaping, texturing, and finishing your design - leaving you with a beautifully handcrafted piece to take home.

Materials are included in the cost of the workshop and no experience is necessary.
We are fully inclusive and all skill levels (Adult 18+) are welcome, however, please note that this course requires hand-eye coordination and the ability to follow precise instructions with regards to safety.
