On Saturday 17 October, the goldsmith’s atelier in Ghent hosts a workshop on making silver stud earrings, limited to a maximum of 6 participants. Participants learn the basics of goldsmithing, including sawing, filing and soldering, along with an optional finish of their choice, guided by an experienced goldsmith. By the end, everyone goes home with a set of silver stud earrings made entirely by hand, in the shape and finish of their own choosing. Gold-plating the finished set is possible for an extra cost, with details shared during the workshop.
No prior skill or experience is needed, the goldsmith is happy to show participants they’re more capable than they think. The workshop is open to anyone aged 16 and up.
