Goldsmiths in Berlin Blacksmith Silver Ring
Genieße einige Stunden Handarbeit in meinem Wohnzimmer in Berlin und fertige deinen ersten selbstgemachten Ring aus Silber (925 Sterling Silber). Ich zeige dir wie du aus einem Stück Rohmaterial einen wundervollen Silberring mit einer glatten oder gehämmerten Oberfläche entstehen lässt. Ein paar Beispiele an meinen Fingern zeigen dir deine Möglichkeiten. In ca. 4h leite ich dich Stück für Stück zu deinem Ringglück. Da ich in meinem Wohnzimmer lediglich einen Arbeitsplatz eingerichtet habe, freue ich mich über zwei Teilnehmer, welche sich an diesem Arbeitsplatz abwechseln. Keine Sorge, während die eine Person sitzt wird sich die andere Person keineswegs langweilen :) Nachdem wir deine Ringgröße herausgefunden haben wird das Material zugeschnitten, mit einer Feile bearbeitet und dann in Form gebogen. Es kommen Lot und ein Lotkolben ins Spiel und bei ca. 1000 Grad Celsius löten wir deinen Ring zusammen. Nun geht es an den Feinschliff: mit einem Hammer wird der Ring in eine perfekte Rundung gebracht und dann mit dem richtigen Schleifgerät immer glänzender. Je nach gewünschter Oberfläche wird der Ring auf Hochglanz poliert oder zu guter Letzt mit einem Hammermuster versehen. Zu der Grundgebühr des Kurses berechne ich 3€ pro Gramm Silber. Wie viel Silber du für deinen Ring benötigst hängt von der Größe und Dicke des von dir gewählten Materials ab.

English Comedy Show on a boat
So, here's the plan: You get to become part of one of the biggest and most fun stand comedy shows in English in Berlin! And it's all on a boat! It's a fun, vibrant, energetic and friendly show - EVERY Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. We'll have pre-show drinks and then enjoy a great line up of Open Mic comics doing 5-7 minutes of material and an awesome headliner to top it all off. After that we'll have some relaxed drinks at the bar where we mingle and you get to know the comics and the other people joining the experience in a more private setting. So, ask all those questions you've had but never dared to ask about comedy. Other things to note You can smoke on deck, but not in the bar. The bar is cash-only, so they don't accept cards. And they only serve snacks, but there's plenty of restaurants and bistros nearby. If you ever find one of the experiences as fully booked, consider joining us the night before or after. We also run other shows - in fact, we have a show every night of the week - you can find the others (not on the boat), here: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/experiences/1002772

We can grab a coffee or tea on the way, explore the city, and I take candid, cinematic shots of you roaming the city. I know quite a few beautiful spots along the way where we can stop and take pretty portraits (either of just you or your partner/family/friends, and I'm also going to take some candid shots in between that feel more like natural photos in between. Then I'll chose the best 20+ photos, edit them in a film-like look within a week and send you an online gallery so you can easily download them and remember this special walk through the city. Ready when you are! :) (The experience works best as a small private group - just you, or you and your partner or best friend or any kind of loved one you'd like to create some memories with.
