Right in the middle of Dublin city centre, this award-winning silversmithing class gives you two hours to make something with your own hands. You’ll hammer and shape a real silver ring from scratch using real tools - not a kit, not a paint-by-numbers craft session, but actual hands-on work with sterling silver.
The studio is at South Great Georges Street, a few minutes from St Stephen’s Green. Groups are capped at 12, so there’s always a tutor close by when you need one. It’s open to anyone aged 10 and up, which makes it a good option for friends, families, or as a solo treat in the city.
There’s a second location just two minutes away at 24 Drury Street, Dublin 2. When you book, double-check which location your session is at. If anything changes, the team will contact you before your visit.
Arrive knowing which door to go to. The Georges Street and Drury Street locations are only two minutes apart, but it’s still worth confirming your spot before you head out. Both are easy to reach on foot from the city centre, and there are bus stops and Luas stops close to both.
This works particularly well as a pair activity. Two people making their own rings side by side, comparing results, trying not to mess up the hammering - it’s a genuinely engaging way to spend a couple of hours together. The small group cap (12 max) keeps the room relaxed rather than rushed.
The South Great Georges Street area is one of Dublin’s most characterful streets. While you’re in the neighbourhood, it’s worth walking the length of it before or after your class. The Victorian George’s Street Arcade is at the north end - covered market stalls, vintage clothing, records, and a few good food spots under one glass roof.
You’ll leave with something you actually made. That might sound obvious, but the difference between a hammered silver ring you shaped yourself and anything you could buy in a shop is real. The slight imperfections are the point - they mean it’s yours.
If you’re visiting Dublin with kids aged 10 and up, this is a more engaging use of two hours than most. Under-16s need a paying adult with them, and both can make their own ring, which keeps everyone involved rather than one person watching another.
