Seaglass Ring Workshop - Mon 10th Feb

Service Description

Make your very own bezel set silver seaglass ring. Please see photos in this booking for examples of what you can achieve on the day course. A one day taster course where you will learn basic silver smithing skills in sawing, filing, forming, soldering and finishing or come along to build on the skills you already have and make use of the workshop space and teaching environment. Courses start at 10am and run no later than 4.30pm with a short break for lunch in Corfe Mullen, Dorset. This course is suitable for all abilities from absolute beginners to advanced, we run small classes of up to 4 students. Bring along your own seaglass (Jules will check and let you know if its suitable to use) or choose a piece from Sea & Solders collection. On this course you can choose between making your own seaglass ring, or alternatively you can make a bangle or cuff (with an additional charge of £20). A fun relaxed day, in a unique garden workshop. You will be greeted with a hot drink on arrival. The workshop has a small area for making as much tea and coffee as you can drink throughout the day and biscuits will be available. The price of the course includes tuition for the day, one piece of sea glass/stone/pottery to use in your jewellery, enough silver to make a setting for your seaglass ring (Seaglass size can be from 5mm up to 2.5cm wide, see photos for examples) as well as the use of the workshop and tools. Due to the time available on the day your ring needs to be within this size limit and design as seen in the images below, this ensures you will take away a complete and well finished piece of jewellery. A bangle/cuff can be made with 2mm round silver wire on a ring workshop, this has an extra charge of £20. In addition to this we also have a treasure box cabochons (Semi precious flat backed stones) which can be purchased on the day. The full address and details of how to get here will be sent to you once you have booked onto a course and a reminder email will be sent 24 hours prior to the course. Please bring your own lunch on the day and if you wear glasses please remember to bring these with you. Wear closed toe shoes and long hair will need to be tied back.
