Silver Ring Making Workshop

If you have ever looked at your jewellery collection and wondered how those pieces actually come together, there is a workshop happening in Brighton on 26 April 2026 that focuses on the basics of silver smithing. The session takes place at Rare Thing, located in the East Street Arcade within the South Lanes. It is a four-hour workshop, running from 12:00 to 16:00, where the goal is for everyone to leave with a finished, solid silver ring that they have made themselves.

The process involves learning the fundamental steps of jewellery making, specifically how to design, cut, form, and solder recycled silver. Because the workshop is designed for beginners, you do not need any prior experience to participate. It is open to adults and anyone over the age of 16, which is a requirement set by their insurance policy. Whether you are looking for an activity to do solo, with a partner, or as part of a group for a birthday or team outing, the structure remains the same. The cost is £95 per person, and this fee covers all the necessary materials, including the silver, as well as refreshments like tea, coffee, and snacks.

There are a few practical details to keep in mind if you decide to book a spot. For safety reasons, the organisers require that you do not wear open-toed shoes or clothing with long, loose sleeves while working with the tools. It is also worth noting that if your plans change, you can cancel or reschedule your booking, provided you give at least 14 days' notice before the date of the experience. It is a straightforward way to spend an afternoon if you are interested in the craft, and it is distinct from other jewellery classes in the area, such as those offered by Posh Totty Designs, so make sure you are looking at the right venue when you book.
