You will be part of a small group of up to 5 participants. By the end of the 4 hour workshop you will have your very own, hand made, unique sterling silver ring or pendant!
All materials, tools and tuition are included in the price - sterling silver, fine silver and seaglass, and if you are making a pendant, a sterling silver chain.
If you would like to bring your own seaglass then you are very welcome. For a ring seaglass needs to be no smaller than 0.8cm x 0.8cm and no bigger than 1.5cm x 1.5cm. For a pendant the maximum size is 2cm by 2cms. The maximum depth for both is 5mm and it should be evenly and well tumbled. It should sit flat on a table with no/little wobble, but if you're unsure, then bring it all along and we can have a look to find the right piece.
You will learn to design your own ring or pendant from scratch by choosing your seaglass piece. You will make the setting from silver wire and sheet; you’ll learn how to make the perfect size bezel for your glass and solder the back plate, bezel and other parts together. Lastly you will file and polish your piece and set your seaglass. You'll be surprised how much you can learn in 4 hours.
You will need to have good dexterity and strength in your fingers and be able to see what you are doing so that you can solder using a blow torch safely. However if there are aspects of the process that you are unable to do that’s fine, I can help you and you can do the rest, just let me know in advance.
The minimum age for this workshop is 12 due to the use of extreme heat and chemicals and children need to be accompanied by a participating adult, please.
The workshop will take place at Found, 91a Preston Drove, Brighton BN1 6LD. You will be provided with drinks nibbles on the day to keep you going and a festive glass of Prosecco.
Session start time is 1pm
We are in parking Zone J, so street parking is available but is pay and display using the pay by phone app.
Bookings are non-refundable, however, if you are unable to make a workshop and give me at least 72 hours notice, I will try to accommodate a change of date. I intend to run workshops approximately monthly moving forward.
