Silver Ring Making Workshop by Rare Thing

If you have been looking for a way to spend an afternoon in Brighton, there are currently two distinct options for making your own silver rings. It is worth noting that while the name 'Silver Ring Making Workshop' is used by different providers, the experiences themselves differ quite a bit in terms of format, location, and what you actually get out of the session.

For those interested in a more hands-on, technical approach, Rare Thing is hosting a session on June 14, 2026, from 12:00 to 16:00. This four-hour workshop takes place at East Street Arcade in the South Lanes. During this time, you work with recycled silver to design, drill, form, and solder your piece. The session costs £95 per person and includes snacks, tea, and coffee. It is open to anyone aged 16 and over, regardless of prior experience. If you decide to book this one, keep in mind the safety guidelines: you will need to wear closed-toe shoes and avoid long sleeves while working with the tools.

Alternatively, Posh Totty Designs offers a different style of workshop at their location at 31 Sydney Street. This is a shorter, two-hour session priced between £113 and £125 per person. The focus here is on wax carving techniques, and the experience includes a cocktail alongside the materials and instruction. They also offer the option to add a gold plating finish for an extra £30, or to have your piece engraved. Like the other option, this is available for those 16 and older and is often booked for small groups, such as birthdays or team building, though it works just as well for individuals.

Both options are straightforward in what they offer, so the choice really comes down to whether you prefer a longer, more technical afternoon of metalwork or a shorter, more social session involving wax carving and a drink. Since both are based in central Brighton, they are easy to access, but it is worth checking the specific requirements for each before you commit to a date.
