Beginners 2 Day Weekend Jewellery Workshop

Description

Beginners 2 Day Weekend Workshop Transforming a sheet of silver into a piece of jewellery can be a fulfilling and exciting creative process. This intensive two-day course will introduce you to the traditional techniques and tools used to make jewellery. The aim of this course, using demonstrations and structured guidance is to instill confidence as you learn techniques such as sawing, soldering, annealing, filing, texturing, and shaping to create a piece of silver jewellery during the course and when you continue making afterward. You will start by using copper (which has similar working properties to silver) to practice on, then progress to using silver for your final piece. This course is an ideal introduction if you are taking your first steps in jewellery making or suitable for returning students looking to refresh their existing knowledge to create more complex pieces. The weekend is designed to be as flexible as possible, allowing you to build your skills as well as create a finished piece. This course does not include stone setting techniques but is a good building block for learning the techniques you will need to progress to the more advanced techniques of stone setting. Please bring along glasses if you need them and wear appropriate clothing for a studio environment including closed-toe shoes. If you have long hair please wear it up. Saturday 10 AM -4:30 PM Sunday 11 AM - 4:30 PM Lunch is not provided but you can bring a lunch to eat in the studio or we can advise you of nearby places to buy lunch.
