what you'll do
Make Your Ring
Learn how to shape silverclay into your own ring. I'll guide you through each step, so beginners are always welcome.
Create Your Design
Browse my collection of handcrafted rings for inspiration, then deisgn your favourite style, texture and gemstones to make it your own.
Welcome to the studio
Settle into your workspace, meet your facilitator Shirley and get ready for a relaxing, creative experience. No experience needed!
Refine, Fired & Polished
Once your ring has dried, you'll gently sand and smooth the surface, getting it ready for firing. I'll then kiln fire and polish your ring in my studio that'll be ready for pick up after the workshop.
Set Your Gemstone
Choose your favourite gemstone and carefully set it into your ring to add your own personal touch.
Create a beautiful fine silver ring that's completely your own. Winner of the 2025 Adelaide Fringe Best Workshops & Talks Award, this beginner-friendly jewellery experience invites you to shape silverclay by hand, choose colourful gemstones, and create a ring that's uniquely yours.
One of everyone's favourite moments is watching the silverclay piece transform into 99.9% pure fine silver ring. It's a magical moment that never gets old, even after welcoming more than 1, 000 participants to my workshops.
Your workshop includes professional kiln-firing and polishing on site. Depending on the firing schedule, your finished ring will be beautifully presented in a jewellery box and ready to collect approximately 2 hours after the workshop or the following day.
Join me in my natural light-filled jewellery studio in Adelaide CBD, designed especially for small, hands-on workshops, or choose my relaxed McLaren Vale location surrounded by wine country.
Whether you're coming with a friend, planning a date, celebrating a birthday or simply trying something creative for yourself, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind ring and memories to treasure.
