During this workshop, you will create a real silver ring with a finish of your choice. You will get to know all the steps from sheet to ring: measuring, drawing, sawing, filing, sanding, bending, soldering, and finishing. You shape the material according to your own insight: adding a hammered texture or a pattern using different stamping tools. Various examples will be available for inspiration. You will go home with your own handmade ring.
