Silver Ring Hammering Workshop 銀戒指鍛敲工作坊 at Madmatte 默物 (Feb 2025 - Aug 2025)

This is part of the Culture series.

Redeem 1 spot for the Silver Ring Workshop "Hammering" at Madmatte 默物.

—Hammering— is an essential technique in basic metalworking, allowing for shaping and surface texture through repeated strikes on the metal until the desired form is achieved. During the ring-making process, various shapes of metalworking hammers are employed to create unique visual effects by manipulating angles and force. By controlling the direction and movement of the metal, forging is executed to produce a ring that embodies personal style.

Date: By appointment (subject to availability)
Duration: 2.5 hours
Location: Tsuen Wan
Language: Cantonese or English
Class size: Max. 4 people
Final Product: One sterling silver ring

Participants can create specified styles in the workshop while also making variations based on their personal preferences. The workshop will provide all necessary materials and will cover basic forging theory, an introduction to metal hammers (including blocking, raising, and planishing hammers), and essential ring-making techniques such as metal cutting and polishing.
