About the event
All of the Gobbins Craft Jewellery Workshops are tutored by Heather, an experienced goldsmith who has taught students of all abilities for more than 25 years. No prior experience is required as Heather will be on hand to closely guide and supervise you through the jewellery making process enabling you to make your own piece of silver jewellery to take home.
You will have a choice of one of four projects to make in Heathers studio, which is a quaint converted pig barn dating from the 1830’s.
Project 1: Stacking Rings
Come along for the morning and make your own set of silver stacking rings. You will be able to decide your own combination of textures and finishes for the rings, making them a truly personal set! During this half day workshop you will make 3 silver rings to take home with you.
Project 2: Silver Pendant
In this workshop you will design and make a silver pendant. Using silver shapes and wires which you will texture, shape and solder together to produce your own original design which will then be hung on a cord necklace ready to wear.
Project 3: Silver Knot Ring

Project 4: Silver Spinning Ring
