Make a 9ct Gold Ring band Workshop

All materials are included – there is no extra charge.

Starting in copper you will learn how to adapt, and manipulate the metal by Sawing, piercing, hammering, annealing, patinating and forming. We will also cover soldering, texturing metal and other techniques such as stamping.
After playing and designing your piece, the techniques you learn will then enable you to create a 9ct Gold ring band. The gold provided is 6mm wide by 75mm in length, and a comfortable 1mm thick./depth.

You do not need any previous experience

Hand tools are used alongside a simple power tool. Safety goggles provided. Toilet and refreshments available.

Gold is a much more expensive precious metal than silver. The price increases the higher the carat you go, hence using 9ct gold. Gold is also softer than silver, however the principles of making and how the metal reacts, is practically the same.

Workshops are usually held on  a daily basis between 11 and 5.30pm. Evenings Upon request. I’m more than happy to cater for other times and days, so just pop me a message.

I also have my studio sidekick, Hugo – a border collie dog who is extremely friendly and likes to be involved with whatever I am doing. If this is a problem, please let me know.
