Visiting from the US, Ronda Coryell leads this Argentium silver workshop in London, sharing her specialist approach through demonstration and guided making. The focus is on Argentium’s unique ability to fuse decorative elements directly onto textured surfaces without solder, allowing you to add detail while preserving crisp textures and patterns.
This workshop is suited to jewellers looking to expand their skills, but you’ll be supported throughout the day with clear guidance and demonstrations to help you get the most from the techniques.
What to expect:
  • An introduction to Argentium Silver, including its tarnish resistance, bright white colour, and clean working qualities.
  • Demonstrations covering surface texturing, heat control, fusing wire, and granulation.
  • Learning to fuse decorative elements onto textured metal without solder.
  • Exploring techniques such as hammering, stamping, and patterning to create rich surfaces.
  • Hands-on making, developing a series of decorative samples.
  • The opportunity to create a small finished piece, such as a ring or pendant, depending on your pace.
  • Guidance throughout as you build layered surface detail and refine your work.
  • Finishing techniques that preserve texture and definition.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a collection of samples or a small finished piece, along with a deeper understanding of Argentium Silver and practical techniques you can take into your own jewellery practice!
