Silversmithing Workshop

Each participant makes one chunky sterling silver ring, with sizing and surface texture guided by the tutor. You work directly with metal rather than carving a wax model for later casting. The workshop is planned around finishing your ring on the day, so you can take it home afterwards.

Comparable silver ring workshops take around two to three hours, although more detailed sessions can take longer. That's a planning guide, not a confirmed duration for your booking. We'll agree the timing with the silversmith, including separate setup and pack-down access, before you finalise your agenda.

We'll check capacity against your headcount, venue and the tutor's supervision requirements. This is a closely guided workshop, so we won't assume a large group can all work at once. Our 1-50 listing band isn't a promise of 50 simultaneous places. Send your numbers and we'll confirm what's practical.

The workshop is mobile and designed for indoor delivery. However, the room needs approval for practical metalwork and supervised soldering. We'll check table space, power and ventilation requirements with the silversmith and venue. Travel coverage also needs confirmation for your chosen location.

That depends on the venue and the support each person needs. Ring making involves close visual work, gripping tools and some hammering noise. Tell us about seating, step-free access, bench clearance or hand-mobility needs before booking. We can then check adaptations with the silversmith rather than promise adjustments that may not be possible.

The proposed workshop uses sterling silver and professional jeweller's tools with silversmith tuition. We'll spell out the materials allowance, equipment and any separate charges in your quote. Because silver costs and ring specifications can affect pricing, don't assume an unconfirmed headline price covers every option.

Wear practical clothes and closed shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose sleeves or dangling accessories. You don't need to prepare a design or buy tools. We'll share the tutor's final joining instructions beforehand, so everyone knows what to expect.

Yes, particularly when you want people to chat without putting anyone on the spot. Learning the same unfamiliar skill gives colleagues something easy to talk about. However, this needs a dedicated workshop slot rather than a short opening icebreaker. Each person makes their own ring, so it isn't an interdependent team challenge.

The silversmith explains safe tool use and supervises practical work, including soldering. Before confirming the booking, we'll check the venue's permissions and the tutor's safety arrangements. Those checks cover supervision, protective equipment, risk assessment and insurance. Participants need to follow the tutor's instructions throughout.

The planned project is a chunky silver ring, so please check that this appeals to your group. Alternative jewellery, gemstones and stone setting aren't part of the stated workshop. If someone wants another option, ask before booking and we'll check what's possible with the silversmith.
