Service Description

A fabulous opportunity to try your hand at silversmithing. You will learn multiple techniques such as ring sizing, sawing, filing, soldering, forming, shaping and polishing to create a series of stacking rings or bangles. By the end of the workshop you will have finished pieces of jewellery to wear & enjoy. In this full day silversmithing you will spend the first part looking at different techniques... measuring for a ring, sizing, sawing, filing, soldering, shaping and stamping. You will practise some of the techniques and get comfortable with the equipment whilst making a steel bangle. You will also work in copper. Next you can try hand stamping so that words can be written or patterns can be created. In this full day you will have enough silver to complete the following: A pair of stacking rings or a bangle, plus your test pieces from the morning's experiments. You will float out of the studio with your solid silver pieces! Don't forget you will need to squeeze in slices of all our delicious cakes freshly made that day as well as our homemade lunch, plus coffee from our wonderful bean-to-cup coffee machine and maybe a little glass of bubbly before you leave us for the day. NB: Hammering silver (to create your pieces & add patterns) can be loud. If you want to bring ear defenders, we totally get it. Dates: 10am-4pm Sunday 26th July *New date* Sunday 20th September (full)
