Option: Jewellery tuitionMake a ring in an hour. For an extra fee you may arrange a session with Brian and make a sterling silver ring in an hour!
It is hard work sometimes but always a lot of fun! And rather educational.
Chirldren have a particular affinity for making things.
And they can get very precise sometimes.
In my teaching I like to encourage a short burst of experimentation and spontaneity (using copper to practise on), then I will help you do your chosen designs onto the silver. So have some fun with a hammer and anvil, tell a story with symbols stamped into the metal, do a wacky texture. Or take it quietly and make a beautiful plain silver ring band.
Fee for one person: $NZ60, two people: $NZ80. Includes the tools and sterling silver.

about usWe are Brian Adam and Ruth Baird.
We make jewellery from our Bush Jewellery studio. We each make jewellery of our own designs and we sell at various New Zealand stores and galleries.
Brian also teaches jewellery-making classes: students of jewellery starting out on a new career, children curious about making stuff, and adults who are interested in having a go. A specialty is the one hour silver ring session.
