Make a Ring in a Day – 1 day Workshop with Lane Cove local Bridget Kennedy

This one-day intensive jewellery making course is a great introduction if you’d like to see if you enjoy working with metal. Suitable for absolute beginners, we’ve kept the class small and limited to 6 students, so you get the attention you deserve.
You’ll learn the techniques of traditional jewellery making, such as annealing, pickling, cutting, forming, texturing and mark making,  and walk away with a beautiful sterling silver ring.

Experiment and sample with copper or brass before using these new skills to make a sterling silver piece of jewellery.
Students can work from a basic template that can be modified to reflect their own creative style or bring their own design ideas.

This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a birthday or hens party.

Suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old). An adult must accompany any attending kids, and must pay for a separate ticket.
