Class information

Spend the day in a professional working silversmithing studio with expert tuition and one to one support. Your day will start at 10am sharp with a brief introduction of Sam's history in the industry and her work leading onto a studio health & safety checklist. After that you will work along with Sam at your very own professional bench and create your piece. You will experience the full hands-on practical process. The morning will comprise of determining your finger size, gathering your materials and then shaping your silver, cutting it to length and soldering to form a solid ring. You will then spend a little time cleaning this up ready for the next process. At this point, we will stop for a 30-minute lunch. When the class resumes, you will start by making your stone setting for your chosen stone (You will choose your stone at the point of booking your day). You will create a seat for the stone to sit on, attach the setting to your ring shank and then a full clean up, polish and buff. You will then learn to set your stone securely using a rub-over style technique to ensure your stone is kept safe and protected from everyday wear. A final polish and you will have completed your days course. Stones available: Amethyst Perido Blue Topaz White Cubic Zirconia Emerald Cubic Zirconia Sapphire Cubic Zirconia Ruby Cubic Zirconia Citrine Garnet Moonstone Labradorite
