This is a fun activity in Pampisford, Cambridge

This lively, fast‑paced ring‑making workshop is perfect for beginners and packed with practical skills, tips and hands‑on guidance. You’ll create at least three sterling silver rings, choosing from a shaped stacker, a classic band, a wishbone ring or a twisted‑wire design. You’ll also have freedom to select your preferred wire widths, textures and finishes, allowing you to craft pieces that reflect your personal style.

Throughout the day, you’ll build a solid understanding of traditional silversmithing techniques while learning to use essential jewellery‑making tools safely and confidently. You’ll explore forming, annealing, soldering, pickling, texturing and finishing, with plenty of opportunities to personalise your designs.

All materials are included, and additional silver can be purchased on the day if you’d like to customise your pieces or make more. Tools are provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own. Liz will guide you step‑by‑step, ensuring you feel supported at every stage.

The workshop takes place in Liz’s garden studio, where she teaches in small groups to ensure plenty of individual support. Liz brings over 20 years of professional teaching experience, along with specialist diplomas in Fine Jewellery Making and Advanced Jewellery Making from the London Jewellery School. This combination of high‑level jewellery training and decades of classroom expertise means you’ll learn complex techniques in a way that feels clear, achievable and genuinely enjoyable. Her workshops are structured, supportive and packed with practical guidance, offering step‑by‑step teaching and personalised troubleshooting from an experienced educator.

This class was absolutely fascinating and very interesting with Liz as the ideal tutor. She was so helpful and looked after the class really well. I was slightly apprehensive being an older beginner but I needn't have worried at all and came away with 3 highly polished silver rings that I had made myself to keep and to wear. I would thoroughly recommend Silver Bird to all ages. Fran Edson, 25 January 2025

My daughter and I attended Liz Taylor's silver ring-making workshop two days ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Liz is a brilliant teacher. She explains each stage clearly, with demonstrations and is there to help individuals if necessary. Each participant has a workstation with all the tools required for ring-making, including a blow-torch. There are other pieces of equipment around the room which again, Liz demonstrates their use, always with the necessary safety measures. There were 8 of us on this particular workshop, ranging in age from twenties to eighties and we all proudly came away with three beautiful silver rings on our fingers. Throughout the day we were served regular hot drinks and made to feel at home. I can't recommend Liz highly enough and look forward to future workshops with her.

This was a birthday treat for my daughter. Although she had had silver making experience I was a total beginner and quite apprehensive. However, I needn't have worried as Liz's guidance was brilliant and we both had the best day and made some beautiful rings. An excellent day and totally good value for money.
