Join jeweller Sandra McArdle for an introduction to silversmithing. Explore the possibilities of silver to design and make your own ring.
This 3.5-hour workshop will give you an introduction to silversmithing and the opportunity to design and make your own pendant or earrings. In a small group of no more than 5 others, you will design the piece/s you wish to make and learn the basics of silversmithing.
You will learn how to pierce (cut) silver, anneal, texture, and form silver to craft your piece/s. You will learn to clean and polish your final piece/s to create something that is a joy to wear.
If you make a pendant, a chain can be purchased on the day, if required.
Location: The Lookout Studio, The Base
Duration: 10am - 2pm

Silversmithing can be a messy business so please wear clothes that you will be comfortable in, aprons will be provided. Please wear closed toes shoes and ensure that hair is tied back off your face. There is close work involved in working with silver so if you use glasses, please don’t forget them!
A cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake are included in the price of this workshop but don’t forget your water to keep you hydrated.
