Come and join Jo Fleming of Willow Moon Jewellery at The Elephant Rooms in Draycott and learn how to create a silver and copper spinner ring, which has an inner band (satellite ring) that spins freely within a wider outer band and is also known as a fidget or meditation ring.
During this 3hr class, you will learn how to create a 7mm wide sterling silver main outer ring and a narrow copper inner ring, all which can be left plain or textured using hammers and metal stamps. The class will start with a look at the materials and tools we’ll be using, followed by a demonstration of all the techniques required to create your own ring. These techniques include sawing (piercing), filing, shaping, annealing, forging, texturing, soldering and polishing. At the end of the workshop, you will have created a beautiful spinner ring to take home, all handmade and unique to you.
This is the perfect introduction to making silver jewellery using traditional metalsmithing methods and is suitable for both complete beginners, or anyone with some prior experience.
The 3hr class costs £65.00, which includes materials to make one spinner ring, (sterling silver outer band and one copper spinning inner ring). Should you wish to change the inner ring from copper to silver, there will be additional silver wire available on the day to purchase for a nominal charge (approx £6-8 per ring).
Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available throughout the session. To book, or for more information please contact Jo at willowmoonjewellery@gmail.com
