Make a Silver Gemstone Ring in an Evening

£50.00 - £55.00

Join me in this evening ring making class where you will learn to make one gemstone ring.

This Edinburgh based jewellery experience is aimed at complete beginners who have never made any jewellery before. Participants must be 16 or over and under 18 accompanied by an adult. Each workshop has a maximum of 4 people, you can book as an individual or a group. You will leave the class with one gemstone set ring.

This two hour evening jewellery class is perfect for just getting you out for a few hours on the darker, cold autumn and winter nights to do something creative. It’s based in my cosy little Edinburgh workshop and we will finish the evening with hot drinks and homemade cake whilst your finished ring polishes.

During the class I will cover:

- how to size your fingers
- shaping and forming the ring
- sawing to create the perfect join
- soldering
- filing and sanding for a beautiful finish
- adding texture
- polishing
- stone setting using a pre-made silver bezel setting

The price includes the sterling silver required to make 1 silver rings, plus one 5mm silver bezel setting and one 5mm gemstone. I will have a selection of stones for you to select from. These will include amethyst, blue topaz, citrine garnet and moonstone.

You may wish to bring an apron to wear, although it’s not essential.

Who is your tutor

I have been working full time as a jeweller since 2009 and enjoy teaching as a way to support my practice. In my previous career, I worked in a role conducting training courses and I love the ability to combine both skill sets. I keep my classes small at a maximum of 4 participants so I have time to support you individually. I like my classes to be a fun, informative and creative environment, I hope you enjoy your workshop!
