Make a Set of Silver Stacker Rings in a Day with the Bishopsland Educational Trust
13 September and 25 October: design and make your own set of silver stacking rings.
- Booking essential
You will design and make a set of silver stacker rings, employing specialist techniques to design and make your jewellery.
Our experienced tutor will teach you how to transform silver into a set of rings. You will gain knowledge of designing, forming and finishing your rings using a variety of silversmithing methods and hand tools.
The course is suitable for beginners with no prior jewellery-making experience, or for those with some knowledge who’d like to refresh and extend their skills.
Your tutor for this course is Chamine Ghuss. Chamine has a First Class Honours degree in 3D Design & Crafts from the University of Brighton, as well as a teaching degree from the University of Bedfordshire. She has completed her first year on the Bishopsland post-graduate programme and is currently in her second year as one of two Artists in Residence. She has specialised in metalsmithing, polymers and composites.
The course are limited to a maximum of 6 attendees, so you will have expert tuition and we can adapt the teaching to suit your level of skill and desired outcome.
You can do this course as a standalone or book multiple short courses to build up a bank of jewellery and metal smithing skills.
All the tools, materials and teaching needed to produce your rings will be provided. The course takes place on Saturday 13 September and again on Saturday 25 October, 10am-4.30pm at the Bishopsland Educational Trust, Hills Yard, Buscot, Faringdon SN7 8BY.
