Silver ring making workshop - reserved for Keiran and Leith

During this step-by-step workshop, I’ll walk you through the process of making a sterling silver ring. In the morning, we'll cover all the core skills including saw piercing, soldering, filing, sanding and finishing. After lunch, you'll have time to make a couple of additional rings, personalised with various texturing techniques. You'll have your own fully equipped workbench with everything you need to create your pieces.

• Whole day workshop for 2 people
• All tools, equipment and materials including sterling silver
• Personalised instruction from an experienced jewellery maker
• A clean, contemporary studio in a beautiful country setting
• Lunch and light refreshments throughout the day
• A glass of bubbly to celebrate at the end of the day!

What to wear and bring with you:

• Please wear casual, comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes
• Your hands will get dirty, so please don't wear any precious jewellery
• If you have long hair, please wear it in a pony tail or a bun, and
• We’ll be doing detailed work, so don't forget to bring your reading glasses.

About your facilitator: Zvoni Hodak

I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Australian National University. My passion for making jewellery began in my early 20s but I only became really serious in pursuing it as a career in 2018 when I established my first professional studio. Since then, I've had the pleasure to teach precious metal jewellery making to over 150 students. I use both traditional silversmithing techinqiues and newer digital technologies to produce clean, modernist pieces. I love working with natural gemstones, gold, and silver with platinum. I look forward to sharing my passion for jewellery  with you!
