Our small workshop classes are limited to just four people and held in Toby Eagle’s private studio, creating a relaxed and intimate learning environment. With over 15 years of industry experience, Toby provides personalised, hands-on guidance in every class.
In this 4 hour workshop, you’ll create three unique custom fit solid sterling silver rings to take home, handcrafted by you using reclaimed sterling silver.
Ring 1: sterling silver Victory ring (1.5mm round band)
Ring 2: sterling silver dot ring (2mm band)
Ring 3: sterling textured hammered ring ( 2mm )
In this workshop you will learn the basics of silver smithing.
*soldering
*Annealing
*sawing
*hammering

*polishing
No previous experience required, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some crafting experience, this workshop is designed to be fun, creative, and rewarding. By the end of the session, you will walk away with two beautiful, custom-fitted sterling silver rings.
You will be guided step by step by metal smith Toby Eagle. Toby has 15 years in the jewellery industry and has a bachelor in metal smithing from the Australian national university. Some people can feel nervous about using tools especially in larger classes, that’s why Toby has chosen to keep these workshops small and intermit, with a maximum of four people. Unlike larger workshops, Toby is able to give each participant her full attention.
If you have any questions throughout the workshop, Toby will be more than happy to answer them — in fact, she encourages it. If you would like to continue developing your jewellery-making skills, Toby can also arrange private workshops tailored to help you build on what you’ve learnt.
**Complimentary tea, coffee and nibbles provided at the workshop to keep you fuelled.
