Under expert guidance, you will transform raw sterling silver into a personal keepsake during this intimate 2-hour session. The workshop welcomes complete beginners and provides all necessary tools, materials, and protective aprons.

Local chocolates are provided to enjoy whilst you craft your unique piece. This authentic Irish craft experience combines cultural education with practical skills you can treasure alongside your finished ring. The professional instructor guides every participant to create a quality piece whilst sharing the rich heritage behind this traditional Irish symbol. What to Expect at Your Claddagh Ring Workshop Your 2-hour workshop begins with an introduction to the Claddagh ring's cultural significance and the traditional techniques you will be learning. Working with sterling silver, you will master the fundamental goldsmithing skills needed to shape, file, and finish your ring under professional supervision. The intimate studio atmosphere ensures you receive individual attention throughout the crafting process. Class sizes are deliberately kept small so the instructor can provide guidance and help correct any issues to ensure you complete a quality Claddagh ring. The hands-on approach makes this accessible regardless of your experience level. You will leave the workshop with your completed sterling silver Claddagh ring ready to wear or gift, along with new jewellery-making skills and a deeper knowledge of Irish heritage.
