Stacking Rings Workshop

A fun half-day workshop to make three stacking rings from sterling silver wire.

Choose from 7 different designs and learn about sizing, soldering and texturing wire. Come and have a go at making your own set of three silver stacking rings to treasure and show off to your friends and family.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
During the workshop you will be taught how to size ring bands; saw, file and solder; shape your rings and finally add texture. Your rings will then be polished whist you enjoy a drink. There will be a range of silver wires to choose from including beaded wire. The widest band you can make in this session will be 2.3mm wide due to the complexity and time available. There are 7 designs to choose to make – the hardest part will be choosing which three to make!

If you would like to make the rings for someone else, you will need to know their ring size before you arrive. Sizes cannot be changed after the workshop.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
The cost of the workshop covers tuition and all materials required as well as tea, coffee, soft drinks etc.

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!
