About Us
Make your own silver spinner ring at The Studio Jewellery School, near Lydney in the beautiful Forest Of Dean.
Learn artisan silversmithing techniques and a little of the history of silver and hallmarking.
Add one or two spinning rings to the main shank choosing from a selection of designs. You can use bobble or twisted wire or get really creative and create your own texture and patterns!
Enjoy homemade cake, shortbread and refreshments whilst you work. Lunch can be purchased at the Taurus Crafts Cafe, or you can of course, bring your own.
At the end of the workshop you’ll not only have some lovely personalised jewellery to take away, but also a huge sense of well being, pride and achievement.
The Studio Jewellery School is run by established ethical goldsmith, Anna Mcloughlin (AKA Anna Fine Jewellery) and is based at Taurus Crafts near Lydney on the edge of The Forest of Dean.
