- Booking essential
Your experienced tutor will teach you how to transform a bar of silver into a beautiful wearable ring. You'll be helped through every step of designing, hammer forming, texturing and finishing your ring. We'll also give you some helpful hints on how to care for your silver jewellery.
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.
At the end of the day you'll receive a certificate from Bishopsland Educational Trust and the silver ring will be yours to keep.

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.
