Hoe lang duurt een workshop zilveren ring maken?

Dat hangt af van de ring die je kiest. De overslagring maak je in 2½ uur, de set aanschuifringen kost ongeveer 3 uur, en voor een ring met edelsteen of een diabolo ring trek je een hele dag uit (6 uur). Zo kies je zelf hoeveel tijd je erin wilt steken.

Wat kost een workshop zilveren ring maken bij Poelie?

De prijzen beginnen vanaf €85,- voor de overslagring of de set aanschuifringen. Voor een ring met zelfgekozen edelsteen of een diabolo ring betaal je vanaf €125,-. Op de pagina van elke workshop vind je de exacte tarieven.

Moet ik al ervaring hebben met edelsmeden?

Nee, alle workshops zijn geschikt voor beginners. De overslagring is zelfs de laagdrempeligste kennismaking, zonder te solderen. Bij de andere workshops leer je juist ter plekke solderen en je eigen ring vormgeven, onder begeleiding.

Is een workshop zilveren ring maken ook leuk als cadeau?

Zeker. Je kunt een cadeaubon voor een van de workshops cadeau doen, zodat de ontvanger zelf kan kiezen welke ring hij of zij wil maken en wanneer.

Wat krijg ik mee na afloop van de workshop?

Je gaat naar huis met je eigen, zelfgemaakte zilveren ring. Daarnaast leer je een edelsmeedtechniek onder de knie te krijgen, van vijlen en vormen tot (bij de meeste workshops) solderen, waar je ook buiten de workshop plezier van hebt.

Workshops in Poelie's studio

A homemade one silver ring is one of the most popular workshops at Poelie – and not surprisingly, because she offers several types of workshops to make one.
From an accessible introduction of a few hours to a full day of immersion in metalsmithing.

Every workshop starts with the same basic techniques of goldsmithing: sawing, filing, and polishing.

The difference lies in the shape, the technique, and the time you put into it – from a ring that you adjust to size yourself afterwards, to a set of stacking rings that you can combine endlessly.

Are you in doubt about which workshop suits you best? Below you will find all of them listed, including their duration and price.

Diabolo ring

A ring with a base ring and a decorative band around it that spins freely – great to fidget with, just like a diabolo. You design and shape both rings yourself.

Stackable ring set

Instead of one ring, create a set of 2 to 3 narrow, subtle stacking rings – endlessly combinable with each other and with your other jewelry.
