You will design and make a set of Silver Stacker Rings employing specialist techniques to design and make your jewellery.
Our experienced tutor will teach you how to transform silver into a set of rings. You will gain knowledge of designing, forming and finishing your rings using a variety of silversmithing methods and hand tools.
All the tools, materials (including Sterling Silver) and teaching needed to produce your rings will be provided.
The course is suitable for beginners with no prior jewellery making experience, or for those with some knowledge who’d like to refresh and extend their skills. As our courses are limited to a maximum of 6 attendees, you will have expert tuition and we can adapt the teaching to suit your level of skill and desired outcome.
You can do this course as a stand alone or book multiple short courses to build up a bank of jewellery and metal-smithing skills.
