Maker Breaks – Make your own Wedding Rings – Thursday Evening – CRAFT MONTH

August Craft Month shines a spotlight on Ireland’s thriving craft scene and provides unique opportunities for people to make, see, learn about, and buy craft. Whether you’re curious to learn, eager to create, or looking to discover something handmade and meaningful, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Maker Breaks are short, guided sessions designed to help you slow down, switch off, and reconnect with your creativity.  You will create your very own piece in a single class - just show up and make!


Craft a symbol of your love with your own hands - this class gives couples a heartfelt way to begin their journey by creating their own custom wedding rings.
Guided by experienced jeweller Fabio with a maximum of three couples per session, you’ll form, shape, and finish your rings in a relaxed environment.
Each couple receives a custom-engraved, laser-cut jewellery box to take their rings home in — ready to be worn and cherished for a lifetime.

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

Included in your Class:

• 2 D-shaped straight rings in sterling silver, to a maximum band dimension of 4mm x 2mm.
• A custom engraved laser cut jewellery box.

Options:

• Upgrades to band thickness and to gold are available.  Before your class we will send you a form where you can choose alternative options, if required.  It's important to return your form promptly once received so we can obtain alternative metals in time for your class.

Notes:

• 1 TICKET/BOOKING = 2 PEOPLE. Please only purchase 1 ticket/booking per couple.
• BOOKINGS CLOSE 2 WEEKS BEFORE CLASS DATE to allow for metal upgrades to be processed so if you’re interested in taking this class please book sooner rather than later!
