About the workshop

Silver Stacking Rings is a guided introduction to making a small collection of silver rings designed to be worn together or individually. During the workshop you will create three slender silver rings from scratch, developing confidence with core jewellery techniques while exploring variation in surface, texture and finish.

Working within our professional makers’ workshop, you will be supported step by step through the making process, from measuring and forming each ring to soldering and finishing. You may choose to keep your designs refined and minimal, or introduce subtle texture or patination, resulting in a set of rings that feel cohesive while retaining individual character.
