Level: Beginners and Improvers
Join us for a comprehensive one-day hollow silver ring workshop and create a perfectly puffy statement ring that is bold and sculptural but deceptively lightweight and comfortable to wear. We’ll begin by exploring texture using our rolling mill and vast selection of hammers and punches. We’ll practise in copper until you find a design you like, then move on to fabricating your finished ring in silver. Learn how to measure your ring size, form it into shape, and solder it, then create volume using our doming blocks and yet more hammers! This simple but effective process is a great one for complete beginners or for more experienced jewellers who would like to add a new technique to their repertoire.Â
What to bring:
- We’ll provide all the things you’ll need for your hollow silver rings workshop, including tools and silver.
- Please bring along glasses if you need them
- Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for a studio environment including closed-toe shoes. Why not treat yourself to a CSSJ branded apron to make you feel right at home?
- If you have long hair, please wear it up
- If you are the type of person who prefers to arm yourself with some knowledge ahead of time then we have prepared a Pinterest page filled with jewellery making information and roll printing inspiration just for you!
- Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. Please bring your own lidded cup for use in the studio. While we do not have a dedicated lunch area, you are welcome to eat at your desk, and we can also recommend nearby places to eat if you prefer.
