You will join me in my workshop in the heart of Old Bruges and learn to handmake your own sterling silver ring. During our time you will have hands on experience of forging, shaping and finishing your own silver ring. First you will choose which finger you would like the ring for, measure your silver and cut to size using a handsaw. Next you will choose from a wide selection of hand stamps to add a custom message onto the inside of the ring. This could be a name, date or your favourite beer! You will learn how to hammer the silver into a ring shape using mallets and a triblet. I will then heat and solder your ring while explaining the process of heating and joining silver together. Next I will show you how to add textures and markings to your ring. This is your unique ring and your time to really show your creative side! The last step will be to choose the finish and polish; this could be highly polished to add some sparkle, a satin finish or even a rough forged look to your ring. Finally you will have your own silver ring to keep, handmade by you in the Heart of Old Bruges, a fabulous and unique way to remember your trip to our magical city. Other things to note No previous experience of jewellery tools or working with silver is needed to enjoy the workshop and make a ring. We will use 925 sterling silver for your ring. We have a safe place to store luggage

Discover the landmarks of Ghent during this 3-hour tour. The tour will take you to the most beautiful historic and contemporary locations. We offer you the best of both worlds: St Bavo's Abbey and St Peter's Abbey, Small Beguinage, surprising street and guerrilla art, lively parks, Portus Ganda, the rivers Lys and Scheldt, etc. For a long time, Ghent was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Europe. And this is still noticeable today. You cycle along numerous abbeys and churches, the Castle of the Counts and the Belfry.... All this testifies to the city’s rich history.

We start at the centre of Ypres. From there we depart on a tour around specific landmarks of the Ypres salient of the First World War. First up are the old fortifications of the city. Built over the course of several centuries, the fortifications around the city were formidable and are still quite relevant to the story of Ypres. Second is the Essex Farm Cemetery to visit the field hospital bunkers and the place where the famous "In Flanders Fields" poem was written. Then onward to the Yorkshire trench and dugout. A preserved trench in the middle of an industrial zone that shows how history and society recover from such horrors. As we continue along the frontline we come across more cemeteries of varying size, each an indication of a battle that took place in the direct vicinity, until we come to a bunker in the middle of a field. This bunker was the largest German bunker of the Ypres Salient, and together with 6 other bunkers in the area shows just how well the Germans had dug in the area. Following this bunker system we reach Houthulst, which was another German stronghold on top of one of the highest points of the area. We finish at the German cemetery of Langemark to highlight the German side of the war, which is often overlooked. Finally we return to the city center where the guests can continue to the In Flanders Fields museum if they wish. Other things to note Are you booking a tour with middle- or high-school students, and you're afraid they might not be interested? I can take care of that. My experience as a high-school history teacher has showed me how to cater this information for a younger generation.
