About this tour
Craft your own sterling silver ring over three hours in the Scottish Highlands near Balquhidder.

The hilltop studio setting provides a quiet backdrop for creative focus. Tea and coffee included.

What to expect
You'll begin by understanding how to measure and plan your ring, then move through heating, forming, and finishing stages using specialist jewellery tools. The instructor demonstrates each step before you replicate it with your own silver. Expect to work with your hands—filing, shaping, and polishing demand focus but no prior experience. By the end you'll have a functional ring ready to wear, though some pieces benefit from resting overnight before wearing. The three-hour window allows unhurried progress without feeling rushed.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. The studio accommodates service animals. No fitness barriers—work happens seated or standing at your own pace. Book ahead; group sizes are small to ensure proper attention.
