The venue has partnered with the local sustainable jewellery brand for a Signet & Sip session
Hip and trendy cocktail bar Side Street, located in the heart of the city, has announced it will be partnering with local sustainable jeweller Sken Studios to host a Signet & Sip workshop, giving guests the chance to explore their creative side through a hands-on wax carving masterclass.
The collaborative event is set to take place on Sunday 21 September (12:30-16:00), meaning you have plenty of time to gather your pals and make a date of it.
Participants will design and craft their own bespoke silver signet ring under the expert guidance of brand owner Sabira whilst enjoying a complimentary drink from Side Street’s bar - choose from a crisp glass of Prosecco, beer, small glass of house wine, soft drink, or a single house spirit & mixer.
Sabira will guide each guest through the process of shaping and detailing their ring using traditional techniques. After the session, each wax model will be cast in solid recycled Eco-silver (or upgraded to gold plating), polished to a professional finish, and sent directly to participants within four weeks.
This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for everyone and provides a fun, alternative way to spend a Sunday afternoon as well as the unique opportunity to craft your very own wearable piece of art. Guests will also have the option to upgrade to solid gold on the day and choose between mirror or matte finishes for their final piece.
Sabira Silcock, founder of Sken Studios, said: “At Sken Studios we’re known for our playful signet rings, so it’s really exciting to bring our sell-out signet workshops to Side Street! I’ll be teaching the ancient art of wax carving to help you make a unique signet ring. The workshop is suitable for all abilities and I’ll be there to guide you through every step of the way and bring your ideas to life.”
Hayley Sammé, Sales & Marketing Director at Shiko Group added: “We’re really excited to host this one-of-a-kind event at Side Street. Our space is all about creativity, community and craft - whether that’s through cocktails or culture. Partnering with Sken Studios for this Signet & Sip workshop is the perfect way to bring people together for something fun.”
Attendance to the event is £155 per person, which includes materials, tutoring, and a complimentary drink as part of the three-and-a-half hour workshop.
