What you'll do

Learn to make your own jewellery at this silver ring making class for beginners. If you love a good silver ring and can't find the perfect one for you – make one with an expert jewellery maker and gain new craft skills in the process.

This beginner jewellery making class is ideal if you'd like to try jewellery making for the first time and want a taster into this creative hobby. You'll be guided step-by-step by your experienced jewellery making teacher Alison, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and build your skills.

You'll make a sterling silver ring in your class, perfect for stacking with other jewellery. You'll be supported to bring your jewellery to life by your expert teacher and you'll be given all the help you need to go home with a lovely ring to wear with pride.

This jewellery making workshop in London is held at your teacher's studio and you'll have your own bench to work from with all the tools and equipment you need to make a gorgeous piece of wearable art! It's a wonderful experience if you love accessories and are interested in working with silver.

By the end of your ring making session, you'll have learned how to:

Measure ring lengths.
Use a jewellers' saw.
Anneal metal.
Use pliers and mandrels to form a ring.
Solder with pillions.
Use files.
Texturing using hammers and punches.
Polish and finish your ring.

You'll also be guided in the safe and proper use of your jewellery making tools – a crucial skill to have under your belt when working in any craft. These skills will help you practice confidently and independently after your workshop.

By the end of your jewellery making class, you'll go home with your own handmade sterling silver ring, as well as a range of new skills to use in the future!
