You will be given a demonstration on how to use the tools provided, and be shown techniques to apply to your design to create your ring. You will be guided every step of the way to make sure you end up with the ring you desire.
All materials will be provided, and no experience is necessary.
We always provide great cups of coffee, tea, juices and snacks to make this a relaxed, fun environment.

With 9 years of experience in jeweller, I make my own collections and bespoke jewellery in responsibly sourced precious materials. I love what I do and really enjoy sharing my experience with other people.
I have found that people are interested in the process of making jewellery as much as they are the product, I am often asked how I made my pieces, so I thought I would open up my practise and share my knowledge with others in an engaging, creative way for people to create exactly what they want to wear, and come away with a new skill set at the same time.
