2 Hours Workshop
Whether you are interested in learning a new skill or want to create something in a fun and relaxed environment, this workshop is for you. During the class you will learn to make your own sterling silver Claddagh Ring.
A Claddagh Ring is a traditional Irish ring in which a heart represents love, the crown stands for loyalty and the two clasped hands symbolize friendship.
In the workshop you will begin with a Claddagh Ring strip and you will learn basic goldsmithing skills to transform this into a beautiful, made to measure Claddagh Ring that you will be proud to say you made yourself.
You will learn the basics of goldsmithing, this includes:
– How to mark with a scribe and pierce your strip of silver with a jewellers saw.
– How to form a ring using pliers and a ring mandrel
– You will watch it being soldered whilst being explained the process by your teacher
– How to file the ring using different size hand files
– How to texture the ring using a planishing hammer- if you wish
– You will watch it being polished on a polishing motor to your chosen finish – matt or shiny!
