Create your own silver Claddagh ring in this hands-on jewellery workshop inspired by Irish tradition, symbolism, and craftsmanship. Claddagh rings are enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity, with their timeless symbol of love, loyalty and friendship feeling more relevant and stylish than ever in contemporary jewellery.

In this workshop, the heart and crown elements will be pre-made in silver and ready to work with. Goldsmith Tara Campbell will teach you how to solder the pieces together, cut and shape the silver shank into the iconic hands that cradle the heart, size your ring for the perfect fit and carefully form everything into a finished ring, using traditional goldsmithing techniques.

Spend a day under the guidance of goldsmith Diane Lyness as you make a pair of silver stacking rings. Each participant will be taught traditional jewellery making techniques such as piercing, soldering, shaping, texturing and polishing to create a beautiful pair of rings to take home. Personalise and add colour to your ring by adding one or two semi-precious stones. No previous experience is required. All you need to bring is an apron and bundles of enthusiasm!
