Reading Activities
Join this silver ring making class in Lambourn and discover the rewarding joy of creating your own unique jewellery from scratch. Based at the charming Metal Shed at Mile End Farm, this 2.5-hour workshop offers a supportive and low-pressure environment where you can switch off and focus on a new, hands-on skill.
With expert guidance every step of the way, you'll have the freedom to add your own creative twist to your design. The session is perfect for beginners, as you'll be shown exactly how to handle the tools and materials provided. To keep your energy up while you work, tea and coffee will be available throughout the class.
During the workshop, you will learn essential jewellery techniques, including:
  • Filing – Smooth and shape your metal for a professional finish.
  • Forming – Bend and manipulate the silver into your desired ring shape.
  • Soldering – Use heat to join your ring securely together.
  • Polishing – Buff your piece until it catches the light with a beautiful spark.
You'll finish the session with a sense of pride and a one-of-a-kind handmade silver ring to show off. Learning these traditional methods is a wonderful way to rekindle your creativity, leaving you with a beautiful keepsake and the confidence that comes from mastering a new craft.
Please note:
  • Up to 5 grams of silver are included, which covers most ring designs. If you'd like to make a particularly chunky ring, there will be an additional charge based on the current silver price (approximately £4 per gram).
  • This class is for students aged 16+ and requires good eyesight and dexterity.
  • As there is a maximum of four students per class, you'll receive plenty of dedicated support.
What you'll get
Each guest will walk away with a beautiful silver ring! Tea and coffee will be provided throughout.

female Women-owned

Hi, my name is Loucinda, and I am an award-winning jeweller and silversmith with a passion for passing on my skills, knowledge, and love for making to anyone who will listen! Teaching is a huge passion of mine, and I love getting to meet such a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. I have taught in a range of places such as South Hill Park Arts Centre, Marlborough Summer School, and Oxford College, and now teach from both my own workshop and mobile.
The Metal Shed Workshop by Loucinda offers a range of jewellery and silversmithing workshops and classes both from her workshop and mobile, covering Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire.
Location-
The converted shipping container workshop, AKA 'The Metal Shed, ' is situated in Lambourn, Berkshire, also known as the 'Valley of the Racehorse.' The workshop has a relaxed atmosphere and is well-equipped. The space allows for up to 4 students at a time or private groups of up to 6.
Experience-
Loucinda has been teaching jewellery and silversmithing for many years at both South Hill Park in Bracknell, Oxford City College, and Marlborough Summer School before creating her own teaching space.
What's on offer?
Weekly classes
Suited for both beginners and more experienced makers. For complete beginners, a project will be given to help teach the basic skills needed for your jewellery-making journey. After this, you are encouraged to come up with your own designs. For each term, students will be given a new brief/theme or project which they can choose to take part in alongside making their own work. Previous projects have included upcycling old silver, making a locket, and tube setting.
One-off workshops
Suitable for those who want an introduction to jewellery and metalwork but don't want to commit to regular classes. The half-day and one-day workshops include various themes such as making a silver ring, making a copper rose, and Christmas-themed workshops. All of these workshops will include basic materials. During the summer, we offer a range of more in-depth 2-day courses.
Children's Workshops/Parties
With a full DBS certificate, Loucinda runs workshops and parties from the age of 6+, with a range of packages on offer. See the link below for more information.
Private parties
For those looking for something different to do for a special occasion, I offer a range of workshops and classes from both the Metal Shed and at your home or specific venue. From birthday to hen parties, I have a range of options to suit.
