As the sun begins to set over Dublin, the city takes on a whole new atmosphere. The streets become quieter, the lights begin to glow, and there’s no better time to discover a different side of the capital.
This summer, Silver Works Dublin is delighted to be part of Dublin by Dusk, an exciting initiative by Fáilte Ireland and DublinTown that encourages visitors and locals alike to experience Dublin after hours through unique cultural experiences.
Join us on the last Thursday of every month for Fáinne & Fizz: Forge a Claddagh Ring Workshop – an evening that combines Irish craftsmanship, creativity, culture, and a glass of prosecco.
Whether you’re searching for things to do in Dublin at night, unique evening activities in Dublin, or an authentic Irish experience, this workshop offers an unforgettable way to spend an evening in the city.
What is Dublin by Dusk?
Dublin by Dusk is a new initiative from Fáilte Ireland and DublinTown, showcasing the best evening experiences Dublin has to offer. The programme encourages visitors to explore the city beyond the traditional tourist attractions and discover local experiences, culture, food, and creativity after the daytime crowds have disappeared.
As one of Dublin’s leading jewellery schools and creative experience providers, Silver Works is proud to be part of this initiative, offering visitors the opportunity to experience one of Ireland’s most iconic symbols through a hands-on workshop.
Discover Fáinne & Fizz at Silver Works
Fáinne & Fizz is our special evening edition of the popular Claddagh Ring Workshop in Dublin.
During this unique experience, you’ll:
- Forge your own silver Claddagh ring
- Learn traditional jewellery-making techniques
- Discover the history and symbolism of the Claddagh ring
- Enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco
- Learn a few Irish words and phrases woven naturally throughout the workshop
It’s a relaxed, social evening that celebrates Irish heritage while giving you the chance to create a meaningful piece of jewellery with your own hands.
No previous jewellery-making experience is needed, making it one of the most accessible creative workshops in Dublin for both visitors and locals.
Make Your Own Claddagh Ring in Dublin
The Claddagh ring is one of Ireland’s best-known symbols, recognised around the world for representing:
- Love
- Loyalty
- Friendship
At Silver Works Dublin, you’ll go beyond simply buying a Claddagh ring. Instead, you’ll make your own using traditional jewellery-making techniques under the guidance of experienced jewellers.
Every hammer mark, texture, and polished finish becomes part of your own story, creating a keepsake that’s far more meaningful than a shop-bought souvenir.
For visitors looking for an authentic Irish experience in Dublin, it’s a unique way to connect with Irish culture while learning a new skill.
A Unique Evening Experience in Dublin
Looking for something different to do after dinner or before a night out?
Fáinne & Fizz is ideal for:
- Visitors looking for unique things to do in Dublin
- Couples searching for memorable date nights
- Friends looking for creative evening activities
- Solo travellers wanting to meet new people
- Anyone interested in Irish culture and craftsmanship
Unlike many evening attractions, you’ll leave with something tangible – a handcrafted silver Claddagh ring you’ll wear for years to come.
Experience Irish Culture Through Craft
Jewellery has been part of Irish heritage for centuries, and making a Claddagh ring offers a hands-on way to experience that tradition.
Throughout the evening, you’ll hear the story behind the Claddagh ring while picking up a few Irish words and phrases, adding another layer to the experience.
Combined with a glass of prosecco and the welcoming atmosphere of our Dublin studio, it’s an evening that celebrates modern Dublin while honouring traditional Irish craftsmanship.
