Rings: Intro to Ethical Jewellery

Taster Workshop: £80pp

24th June 6 - 8pm, upstairs at Lemon & Jinja

Join Emily of The Metalsmith at Lemon & Jinja for an evening of creativity, craftsmanship, and conscious design and leave with your own handmade silver ring.

This hands-on taster workshop offers an introduction to the world of ethical jewellery, exploring what sustainable and responsibly sourced materials really mean, alongside some of the key initiatives to look out for.

You’ll then spend most of the session designing and creating your own sterling silver wrap ring, with plenty of freedom to make something that feels uniquely yours. And there’s an extra story behind the silver wire you’ll be using; its origins are a little unexpected.

What to bring

Please come prepared with:

• A hair tie if you have long hair

• Glasses, if you need them for close-up work

• Clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy

We recommend avoiding synthetic fabrics, loose or drapey clothing, and open-toed shoes for safety.

Please note

A small number of leather tools will be used during the workshop. These have been sourced second-hand, well-loved, or rescued from landfill wherever possible.
