Join us for this hands on workshop where you'll make a silver signet ring using the ancient process of cuttlebone casting.
Hosted by award winning jewellers Milena Kovanovic (Crucible London) & Ros Millar and The Ringsmiths team. In this direct casting method, molten metal directly fills a design carved/imprinted into the surface of a cuttlebone. Producing a finished three-dimensional cast object - in this case a signet ring. This technique is one of the earliest known casting processes used by man for thousands of years.
Over the course of this 4 hour workshop we will teach you everything you need to know about how to prepare and cast your very own silver signet ring. You will have plenty of opportunity to practice and test out this variable technique which is safe, fast and versatile.
This workshop is suitable for both beginners and more advanced students.
Each student will be provided with an apron, though we ask you to please wear suitable non- loose clothing (as you would for any other semi-messy art form). For health and safety we also recommend close toed shoes.
With a maximum of six people in any one class, there will be plenty of opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the jewellers. The workshop will take place in The Ringsmiths studio at the iconic Oxo Tower Wharf on the River Thames.

My partner and I had a great time at the silver ring design workshop. All three teachers were very informative, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We really enjoyed the whole experience. We can’t wait to see the finished rings! We’d definitely recommend it!

Really brilliant experience. The ladies running it were really friendly and explained everything in ways that made it really easy to follow. And to top it off have come away with a ring that I love! Can’t recommend enough!

We had a fantastic time on this course. It was great to learn about casting and cast our own rings. You get to do lots of hands on work yourself and the teachers were brilliant.We are so pleased with our final rings. Thank you!
