Are you curious about Argentium silver and how it could benefit your practice? Whether you're new to Argentium or have experience working with it, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to explore its unique properties and versatility. Argentium is a superior silver alloy known for its tarnish resistance, whiter and brighter finish, and environmental advantages. It’s also hypoallergenic and firestain-free, making it the ideal alloy for both jewellers and manufacturers.

The session will be led by Machi De Waard, a renowned teacher and author of Silver Jewellery Making, whose expertise will guide you through the versatile uses of this remarkable metal.

In addition to the hands-on learning experience, participants will have the option to purchase the workshop along with a signed copy of Machi’s book. You’ll also receive a free one-year membership to the Argentium Guild, which includes access to exclusive discounts in the Argentium online store.
