Itinerary
Learn how to make a sterling silver ring from scratch, with our AWARD WINNING EXPERIENCE!
Start off by marking your silver to the length you require by choosing which finger you would like it on. Then, you'll use a handsaw to cut it to size, you'll learn how to form the ring, using a mallet to shape it to the ring mandrel. You'll watch as it is soldered in front of you by an expert tutor—all the time, she will explain exactly what she is doing. Then you'll learn to file it by using different hand files—this is fun, as it is when you get to individualize your ring, deciding what curve you would like it to have. This can make a great difference to the end result. Next, you'll choose from three very different textures. You get to use your creativity with the planishing hammer to achieve the texture you require. People love this part as it's when you make your ring truly individual. Finally you get to choose your polish - polished only on the inside, to give it an artistic/rustic look or the glittery sparkle of a fully polished ring. It's your decision. Then the best bit—you get to keep your ring! It's the ultimate souvenir for remembering your trip to Ireland!

Learning how to manipulate silver was a creative way to enjoy a night out with friends. Had very knowledgeable instructors willing to help in any way.

Such a cool experience! My partner and I had a wonderful time learning how to forge our own rings. We even want to pursue it when we go back home!

Pretty neat experience. The instructors really walk you through it step for step making sure that you don’t make errors. The ring turns out nice and wearable. If you’re looking to bring home a unique keepsake FROM Ireland that YOU made.
