Have you ever thought you would love to learn to make jewellery but are not sure about what is involved, and whether you will enjoy and have an aptitude for working in silver? Before you sign up to a longer course, come and try making a simple piece and see how you feel.

This one-day course will introduce you to the basic tools and processes and teach you how to make a silver ring with the option of stamping and applying decoration to produce an individual and unique piece. The day will take you through the basic skills of sawing, filing, annealing, texturing with punches, soldering and polishing, hopefully inspiring you to want to learn more and develop your skills in this fascinating discipline.

You will complete a silver band ring by the end of the day.
