Ring Making with Rholene Singleton
Friday May 20: learn the art of ring making with Rholene Singleton!
This class is the perfect introduction to the ancient craft of jewellery making - in the space of 3.5 hours, Rholene will teach you how to design and craft your very own sterling silver ring. Take it home, wear it, or give it to a friend!
By the end of the workshop, you will know how to design, measure, saw, anneal, shape, solder, texture and polish your own version of a basic ring band. Make yourself a set of stacking rings, a personalised name ring or a textured band. A patina can also be added to give your finished ring an antique look.
Each workshop is intended for a maximum of four participants so book now to ensure you don't miss out!
