Sea glass jewellery making workshop with Beccy Gillatt in Great Linford, Milton Keynes
Description
Enjoy learning how to encase sea glass with fine silver to make a pendant or a pair of earrings. This is a great beginners introduction to making silver jewellery but is also open to those with some experience. You will be gently guided through all the techniques to enable you to make your very own pieces of jewellery from these treasures of the sea. Good hand dexterity and eyesight essential. The setting is hard on your hands and requires quite a bit of force from the wrist and arm. Some experience of soldering and stone setting is beneficial but not essential.
What's included in the price?
Materials are included in the course fee. After completing the course Beccy offers online support and guidance as well as links to Facebook tutorials, for those who would like to continue making at home. Your work will also feature on Beccy's Instagram and Facebook page too.
