Goldsmithing workshop
You don't have to look any further for the coolest workshop in Breda. Happy Hippies has the most original and fun workshop in Breda… Goldsmithing!
We are not talking about the dusty image of the old jeweler. No, it's hip and fresh. In approximately 1.5 hours (2 hours extended variant) you will become acquainted with one of the coolest crafts there is. You will be working with real precious metal, namely .925 silver or 14k gold. You can choose from various real gemstones and process them into a beautiful ring or pendant. Ultimately, there is also the option of gold-plating your silver jewelry with a thick layer of 14k gold.

Standard Workshop
During the standard workshop you will make a beautiful silver, gold-plated or 14k gold ring with a gemstone under the guidance of our goldsmith. You will learn to solder, stamp, polish and set, among other things. Everyone makes the same design, but you are free to choose your gemstone (agate, moonstone, onyx, etc.). You can make your choice based on which stone you like, but you can also choose the meaning of the gemstone.
-
Extensive workshop
During the extensive workshop you will do quite a bit more than during the standard workshop. You will learn to bend, solder, saw, file and much more. This workshop will take you approximately 2 hours (this may vary depending on the number of people). You have the option to make a pendant or a ring. Ultimately, you also have the option to purchase a chain for the pendant. The gemstone that you will use for the extensive workshop is oval and a lot larger than the standard version.

Ontwerp: rechthoekige ringband 5.0 x 1.2 mm
Stappen: ringmaat kiezen, solderen, rondhameren, stempelen met 925, eventueel hameren, mat of glanzend polijsten.
Een populaire onder de heren, maar zeker ook onder de dames is onze brede ringband workshop. Hierbij ga je aan de slag met een breed stuk zilver en buig je dit allereerst tot een ringband. Daarna solderen, rond maken, stempelen en eventueel gehamerd afwerken. Ga jij voor een matte afwerking of een glanzende? De foto hierboven toont links een gladde matte ring en rechts een gehamerde glanzende. Je maakt de ring in principe in zilver en hebt de optie om deze te laten vergulden.

Meest gestelde vragen
- Wanneer kun je de workshop volgen? Je kunt bij ons 7 dagen in de week terecht. Alleen in de weekenden hebben we starttijden van 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 of 17:00 uur. Doordeweeks kun je starten tussen 10:00 en 16:00 uur.
- Zitten drankjes bij de prijs inbegrepen? Drankjes zitten niet bij de prijs inbegrepen.
- Waar kun je het beste parkeren? Alles in het centrum is redelijk dichtbij. Het Sphinx kwartier, is een goedkopere optie op iets minder dan 10 minuten lopen.
- Moet ik vooraf betalen of een aanbetaling doen? Nee, je kunt na afloop van de workshop betalen op locatie.
- Kunnen we tijdens de workshop nog wisselen van design? Dit is in principe niet mogelijk. Bij hoge uitzondering en in overleg, kunnen we altijd kijken wat we kunnen regelen.
- Moet ik van tevoren aangeven of ik mijn sieraad wil laten vergulden? Nee, dit mag je op de dag zelf beslissen.
- Hoe werkt het vergulden? Je laat de ring bij ons achter. Vervolgens gaat hij naar een externe partij en ben je de ring een aantal weken kwijt. Het heeft geen zin om te gaan bellen of mailen of je sieraad al binnen is. Wanneer hij bij ons binnen is, laten we het dezelfde dag nog weten.
