Dublin, George's Street: Forge a Silver Ring Workshop

Create a personalized sterling silver ring in our brand new studios on Georges street, in this interactive forging workshop in Dublin. Try your hand at various forging techniques with your expert tutor, and take home your own creation as a memorable souvenir.

Start by marking your silver to the length you require by choosing which finger you would like it on. Then, use a handsaw to cut it to size. Learn how to form the ring using a mallet to shape it into the ring mandrel. Watch as it is soldered by an expert tutor who will guide you throughout.

Then, you'll learn to file it by using different hand files. Individualize your ring, deciding what curve you would like it to have. This can make a great difference to the end result.

Next, choose from three very different textures. Use your creativity with the planishing hammer to achieve the texture you require. Finally, select your polish to finish off your ring and take home the ultimate souvenir for remembering your trip to Ireland.
