Ring Making Workshop

If you have been looking for a way to spend a couple of hours in Brighton, the Ring Making Workshop at Posh Totty Designs on 31 Sydney Street offers a hands-on approach to jewellery design. The session focuses on wax carving, where you create the shape of your own bespoke silver ring. You do not need any prior experience to take part, as the workshop is designed to be accessible for all skill levels. During the two-hour session, you get a demonstration from the tutor and then spend the time working with blue wax to bring your design to life. It is worth noting that the workshop is strictly for those aged 18 and over, and the space is reserved for participants only, meaning there is no room for spectators.

The cost for the workshop ranges from £99 to £125 per person, depending on the specific time slot you choose. The price covers all the necessary materials, and you are provided with a glass of Prosecco to enjoy while you work, though you are also welcome to bring your own beverages. Once you have finished your wax model, it is sent off to be cast in sterling silver, and you can expect to receive your finished piece in the post within three to four weeks. If you want to add a personal touch, there are options to include birthstones or other gems for an additional £35 each, or you can opt for a 9-carat gold plating for an extra £10 or £30, depending on the finish you prefer.

The workshops run on a regular schedule, typically on Thursdays and Fridays from 18:00 to 20:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 to 12:30. Whether you are planning a solo visit or attending as part of a group, the environment is set up to be relaxed and informal. It is a common choice for those looking for a creative activity for birthdays, team outings, or smaller gatherings. Since the process involves working with your own ideas, bringing along a mood board or some inspiration can be helpful before you start carving. The focus remains on the craft itself, providing a straightforward way to create a piece of jewellery that is unique to your own design.
