Create your own SOLID sterling silver ring ready to wear!
In this hands-on sand casting workshop, you’ll learn how to make your very own solid sterling silver ring using one of the oldest and most beautiful metalworking techniques.
Sand casting is a raw, organic process where molten silver is poured into a mould made from sand, capturing the textures, patterns, and imperfections that give each piece its own personality. No two rings are ever the same
You’ll walk away with a solid silver ring that you cast yourself – that is solid and made to last a life time. These are the kinds of pieces that become heirlooms.
FYI - you dont have to make a ring you can pretty much make anything you like (within reason) if you can carve it from wax we can make it!!
What’s included:
-
A guided, step-by-step introduction to sand casting
-
10 grams of sterling silver (or bring your own old jewellery to melt!) - if you would like a chunkier ring you can purchase more silver on the day
