Make Your Own Textured Silver Ring with Kristina Merchant
Create your own one-of-a-kind sterling silver ring in this relaxed, beginner-friendly jewellery
workshop.
You’ll be introduced to traditional silversmithing techniques including forming, soldering,
hammering, texturing and finishing. Starting with silver wire, you’ll shape and work the
metal by hand to create an organic ring with its own individual marks, texture and
character.
The focus is on embracing the handmade process rather than creating something perfectly
uniform, so everyone will leave with a ring completely unique to them.
No previous jewellery making experience is needed and all materials and tools will be
provided.

Kristina Merchant is a contemporary jeweller based in Perth, Scotland. Working primarily
with silver, gold and amber her practice takes inspiration from everyday objects
transforming them through traditional jewellery making techniques into playful art
jewellery.
Her work celebrates the marks of making often allowing texture, imperfections and the
process itself to become part of the finished piece. Alongside her own practice, Kristina
teaches amber carving workshops, sharing traditional making skills in an accessible and
relaxed environment.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
