per personThe workshop in detail
Jori offers a dedicated 3-hour workshop designed to forge not just a ring, but a memorable experience. Within the intimate setting of Jori's studio, you will make your own silver ring with a gemstone.
Guided by Jori’s expertise, you delve into the essentials of design and metalwork, gaining an understanding of the tools and skills required to fashion a ring. The process begins with conceptualisation, where thoughts are translated into design sketches under Jori's attentive supervision.
The workshop places emphasis on the individuality of your personality, allowing for the incorporation of personal touches into the design, ensuring the ring truly reflects you. Utilising the time-honoured lost wax technique, you will sculpt your wax model with finesse and care, pouring your vision into every curve and contour.
Following the crafting process, Jori oversees the intricate casting of the rings in silver, applying professional finishing to ensure durability and comfort. Upon completion, the ring is not merely an ornament, but a cherished memory.

Ik heb een fantastisch leuke workshop gevolgd bij Jori Spaa. Jori is ontzettend vriendelijk en ik ben hartstikke goed begeleid bij het maken van een zilveren ring met edelsteen. Jori vertelt met veel passie voor het vak en zijn enthousiasme is aanstekelijk. Ik heb enorm genoten en ben erg blij met het eindresultaat.

Super leuke workshop! Jori kent heel veel over het vak en kan je er alles over vertellen in grote detail. Het helpt wel als je er heen gaat met een idee van wat je zou willen maken, maar Jori is ook goed in het begeleiden als je geen ideeën hebt. Veel plezier gehad en ook erg blij met mijn ring.

Absoluut een aanrader! Mijn partner en ik hebben ter ere van ons 10e jubileum bij Jori een workshop zilveren ring maken gevolgd en zijn ontzettend positief over onze ervaring! Wij werden warm ontvangen en Jori vertelde met veel passie over zijn geschiedenis in het veld. Wij werden goed begeleid, en Jori gaf de ruimte en begeleiding dat mijn partner en ik ringen konden maken die ons persoonlijk goed lagen. Uiteraard zijn wij geen juweliers, maar Jori begeleidde ons goed en sprong waar nodig bij zodat wij beiden tevreden zijn met het uiteindelijke product! Gedurende de hele workshop was Jori erg vriendelijk en toegankelijk, en kreeg ik nergens een gehaaste indruk o.i.d. Wij zijn zeer positief over de workshop en zouden het absoluut aanraden!
