1. Shape the clay

1. Shape the Clay

Roll the clay out to a consistent thickness. This is where thickness guides on your rolling pin are very useful.
Measure and cut a strip of clay for your ring. The length will depend on your finger size, and you will need to account for shrinkage during the firing process.


2. Place the gemstones

2. Place the Gemstones

Gently press the heat-safe stone into the indentation. The clay's soft nature allows it to envelop the girdle of the stone. You can also use a syringe of wet clay to build a bezel or rim around the stone for extra security.


3. Dry and fire

3. Dry and Fire

Let the clay dry completely, then fire it according to the manufacturer's instructions. About 45 mins


4. Polishing

4. Polishing

Sanding the fired piece with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface.
Brushing with a stainless steel or brass brush and water to bring out the initial shine.


5. Admire in everyone's work

Our whole work team had an absolute ball, and everyone walked away with a beautiful ring they made themselves.

It was creative, hands on, and a really memorable way to spend time together. I highly recommend this!

This class makes a great gift and a fun friend/date/solo activity.

  • 5/5 from Laura, attended May 2025: Highly recommend - such a fun workshop! I had a wonderful experience with the Random Rabbit Silver Clay Ring Making Workshop! Yan was super attentive and patient while helping me through the steps, as I've never used silver clay before. I ended up with a super cute personalised ring I'll cherish forever (and bragging rights that I made it)!
  • 5/5 from Maki Thesalonikeos, attended May 2025: Had a great time creating and crafting the rings with my brother and mum for Mothers Day. Every process was so fun, from picking the jewels, shaping and polishing! Can't wait to make more.

  • 5/5 from Cat, attended Feb 2025: I love love LOVE how my ring came out!! Yan, our instructor, was extremely kind and friendly. I was a bit nervous at first, but she reassured me through all the steps and I was able to make a ring to gift to my best friend :) Highly recommend and definitely coming back to bring my girlies!!
  • 5/5 from Charlene Canlas, attended Feb 2025: Had so much fun making my ring. Turned out super cute!
  • 1/5 from Jessica Hodgins, attended Jan 2025: A facilitator who cannot teach and knows very little about the materials used in silver clay ring making. She gave us the materials and barely any instructions, making us beg for information and treated us like we were inconveniencing her by wanting to learn. She spent most of the class time just playing on her phone. In the end, 5 of the 6 people came out with rings too small to wear because she didn't tell us that silver clay shrinks by 10-30% when fired, and my ring cracked.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Martin, attended Dec 2024: LOVED this class!! Highly recommend it to anyone - beginners, amateurs, pros - Yan is so sweet and helpful, the entire experience was perfect. Snacks were such a nice touch and I’m happy we had time to make friendship bracelets. If you’re thinking of taking this class, DO IT!

  • 5/5 from Mish Lukas, attended Aug 2024: Very easy way to make a ring in 3 hours! Yan is lovely and the studio space very comfortable. Great fun
  • 5/5 from Vicki Toris, attended Jul 2024: I really enjoyed the class. It was fun and relaxed. And the teacher encouraged you to be creative and creativity crazy.
