The Workshop and Coronavirus
At the moment our workshops are going ahead as planned.
However, we have taken some extra measures to make sure the workshop is a safe and clean space for everyone.
Our group classes are small with a maximum of 10 people attending although the usually group size is between 4 - 8
We have 16 places at the jewellery bench so there is lots or room in the studio to spread out and have your own working space.
Our wedding ring workshops are not group classes and will be just the couple and tutor
We will be doing extra cleaning before and after each workshop.
We have additional cleaning products, tissues and of course hand washing facilities available.
We are also asking for your help with a few things as well.
We are asking everyone to wash their hands when they arrive at the studio.
We will have teas, and coffees for you and biscuits bars in sealed packets but ask that you, please wash up any cups or utensils you have used at the end of the workshop.
We are asking everyone to help tidy up at the end of the class and to wipe down hand tools with cleaning products and tissues.
How long before our wedding should we book our workshop?
Ideally you should leave at least a month between your workshop and your wedding date and 8+ weeks if you are having extras such as engraving . On some occasions we can hold a "last minute" workshops but this may incur an additional fee to pay for fast hallmarking services and additional extras will not be possible.
What availability do you have?
We can hold the workshop for you Tuesday - Sunday between the hours of 10:00am - 4:00pm. Weekends do get booked up in advance so it is best to contact us as soon as possible for a weekend booking.

Can I have engraving?
Yes we can arrange for engraving and this either be done by a traditional hand engraver after the workshop or laser engraved at the same time as hallmarking. The price will vary depending on what you would like engraved and we can provide you with an estimate at the workshop. You need to leave additional time for engraving.
What happens after the workshop?
At the end of your workshop you will have a ring each to the correct size and shape, finished and ready for hallmarking . Your rings will be hand delivered by us to the Birmingham Assay Office where they will be hallmarked and any extras arranged.
