Thought Ring Workshop - Folkeast 2026

*Please note this workshop is being held at Folkeast Festival and a festival ticket will also need to be purchased to access the site* Join Ruth from Bluebell Lane and learn how to make your own Thought Ring. "I designed the Thought Ring with the idea that we all need a few words of love or encouragement along the way, whether these are from ourselves, or from people that we love. The Thought Ring allows us to carry these with us, all while keeping them hidden on the inside of the band so that only we know what they say. I've had the absolute pleasure and privilege of being let in to these sacred and sentimental Thoughts while making these rings, and I'm so happy to have created a workshop so that you too can immerse yourself in the experience of hand stamping these meaningful words on to your own ring." Each ring will be made using Recycled Sterling Silver, and will be an open cuff ring, meaning it is adjustable. What to expect on the day: A 1.5-2 hour workshop, teaching techniques such as hand-stamping, texturing and shaping. A relaxed atmosphere, working in a group of up to 8 people. After you have finished making your ring it will need to go in the barrel tumbler for about an hour to polish and strengthen it, so you can go an enjoy the festival for a little while before popping back to collect when suits you. Take your ring home on the day, in one of our lovely organic cotton pouches. The way we will be working, isn't particularly messy, so just wear whatever you are comfortable in. If you wear glasses for close up work, please bring these along with you. Location: Bluebell Lane Jewellery stand at Folkeast Festival - outside the Art Arcade. Bookable Sessions: Fri 21st Aug 10am, Sat 22nd Aug 10am, Sun 23rd Aug 10am. Please also see my Wax Sculpting Workshop, which I will be running each afternoon at Folkeast :)
