During this workshop, you will create a real silver ring with a finish of your choice.
You’ll be introduced to every step of the process, from a flat piece of metal to a finished ring: measuring, marking, sawing, filing, sanding, bending, soldering, and finishing. You will shape the material according to your own ideas; you can add texture with hammers or create patterns using various stamping tools. A range of sample designs will be available for inspiration. You will proudly take home your own handmade ring.

Sacha Ofman has been a goldsmith since 1999. She trained at the School for Goldsmithing (Vakschool voor Edelsmeden) in Amsterdam. Sacha designs and creates unique handcrafted jewellery in a distinctive style — ranging from organic forms to wearable art pieces. She transforms old buttons from her grandmother’s button box into jewellery, giving them a new life as if they were gemstones. Seven years ago, she began teaching at the art centre Fluxus in Zaandam, where playful learning and joy in the creative process are central to her approach.
