Silver Rings & Things: A Silversmithing Workshop in Calgary

About this event

Join Y.D.N. and Gem Studio in Chinook, Calgary, for a hands-on silversmithing workshop where you'll learn how to create your own piece of sterling silver jewelry from scratch. Whether you've always wanted a custom silver ring, a bracelet, a pendant, or something completely your own, this is your chance to get creative, learn a new skill, and make something you'll actually want to wear. You'll be guided by an expert silversmith who will walk you through the process, from choosing your design and materials to shaping, hammering, soldering, and finishing your piece. Choose a gemstone to add a little colour, create a textured silver design, or keep it simple with a word or saying hammered directly into the silver.
