Silver ring and pendant set with Rebecca Stevenson

X

Description

In this hands-on jewellery workshop, you’ll design and make a matching sterling silver ring and pendant set. The ring is created from 5mm wide silver sheet to form a solid band ring, with plenty of opportunities to add your own flair through texture, shape and design details along the way. You’ll then make a complementary pendant using 2mm round silver wire, shaping the form and adding a handmade jump ring for suspension. You’ll explore ideas and practise techniques in copper before moving on to silver, building confidence as you work. The workshop covers a range of essential jewellery-making skills including piercing, forming, soldering, sizing, finishing and polishing, as well as creating and soldering jump rings. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with new practical skills and a unique, handcrafted ring and pendant set to take home and enjoy. The workshop is led by an experienced jewellery and DT teacher with a BA (Hons) in Jewellery and Object, and many years of experience running silver jewellery workshops in North Yorkshire. No previous experience is required—just a willingness to learn and create.

Maker


I'm a North Yorkshire-based jeweller and silver workshop provider with a passion for creating and teaching. I hold a BA (Hons) in Jewellery and Object and am also a qualified Design Technology teacher, combining technical expertise with a love of hands-on learning. My workshops are designed to be fun, engaging, and informative — whether you're a complete beginner or looking to develop your skills further. I believe that jewellery making should be accessible and enjoyable, and I take pride in ensuring that every participant leaves with something they can feel truly proud of. Through clear guidance, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of room for creativity, I aim to help people discover the joy of working with silver and the satisfaction of crafting something beautiful with their own hands.

Absolutely! This workshop is suitable for beginners upwards. There are plenty of opportunities to chose simpler or more challenging options along the way and I can tailor the experience to your confidence level.

This is a practical, hands on workshop so I would recommend wearing something you wouldn't be to upset if it got a bit dirty! Try and avoid loose clothing and if you have long hair, please bring something to tie it up with - I have spares if you forget!
