I managed to finish some silver leaf pendants from the botanicals workshop.
An ivy and a hawthorn leaf; ivy symbolises friendship, fidelity and immortality whilst the May leaf is for fertility, protection against witchcraft and a traditional part of the ancient pagan May Day celebrations in Spring for regrowth and rebirth.

There’s a new date on the website for this botanicals masterclass exploring natural textures and organic forms on 05.10.25 (it’s not a taster session so some prior experience is required).

These hand fabricated leaves will be for sale at the Tendring Show on 12th July where we have a stand. If you’re visiting the show do come and say hi 👋! We’ll have lots to see and some hands on stuff to demo and amazing student work to showcase!

Call me sentimental but it’s just so much nicer to come and make your own wedding rings with your beloved than buying them from a shop…

We offer two options for making your own wedding rings with us, both offer expert tuition and brilliant outcomes.

1) You can join us on our 3 hour group workshop (run on the first weekend of every month) and you make your own designs- hand stamped (if you wish) with letters, numbers and /or symbols and hand textured with a variety of hammers- in silver. £69 pp
Lots of couples opt for this excellent cost effective way to make their own rings!

2) Private hire of the workshop for the day to make your own designs in gold or silver following a consultation to decide exactly what you’ll make and to order the gold (gold is ordered specially to your requirements and is extra). £100 consultation fee and £200 workshop fee, plus bullion fee. You’ll get private hire of the workshop to craft your own bespoke rings. (Hallmarking/ engraving/ flush setting diamonds/ gemstones extra if required.)

Visit bench-space.com for more details.
You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!

Bezel soldering….

Our lovely students have been tackling bezel soldering this week.

It’s always a play between getting the back plate hot enough without melting the bezel wire - and at 0.3 mm thick this can happen if you don’t get the flame in the right position and keep an eye on it all!

🔥👌
