What will I learn?
We will cover sizing, filing, texturing, soldering and finishing your rings to a high standard.
What do I need to bring?
The cost of the workshop covers all materials required as well as tea, coffee, soft drinks etc.
Lunch is not provided – please feel free to bring your own (there is a fridge you are welcome to use). There are also a number of shops and cafes a short walk away.
Don’t forget your reading glasses if you need them as there is a lot of close up work!
What should I wear?
Due to the nature of the tools and materials used in the class you are required to wear sturdy, closed toed shoes. Hair must be tied back and please do not wear loose clothing or scarves; you may not want to get your nails done before the session!
Strictly no alcohol to be consumed before or during the workshop.
Making a gift
If you intend to make any pieces as a gift for someone else, you will need to know the ring size prior to the session. Sizes cannot be changed after the class.
