Create a silver bangle and ring set

Join me at my home in Cornwall for a workshop experience where you will learn traditional skills and techniques needed to create a plain ring and bangle band in eco silver. The workshop is made up of a small group, working in a relaxed atmosphere. You will learn to size, forge, texture and finish your own pieces of silver jewellery that you will take home at the end of the session.

During the session you will create a simple band ring and bangle set from 2mm sterling silver wire. For an additional cost there is the option to upgrade the number of ring bands you make to create a chunkier stacking set or you may wish to upgrade the bangle to make a chunkier 3mm bangle.

A short distance away from St. Ives there is free parking available on my driveway.

What to wear:

1. Please avoid wearing loose/baggy sleeved tops as these can get in the way when working with tools.
