Description
Learn all the traditional silversmithing and forging techniques you need to create stunning sterling silver bangles! Choose from a classic hammered bangle, a thinner wavy design or a twisted ribbon bangle - or maybe one of each, the choice is yours! This workshop is perfect for beginners to jewellery making as it teaches many of the basic skills needed for more advanced skills, however those with previous experience will also find their skills tested and improved by the end of the session. You will have time to make at least two bangles. Only 8 places are available to ensure that everyone gets the help and attention they need. Joanne Tinley is a jewellery designer and qualified teacher offering workshops in Hampshire. Please see other course listings for further workshops available, or get in touch for more details.
What's included in the price?
Materials (sterling silver wire) are available for purchase on the day. The exact cost of the materials will be determined by the size and therefore weight of the bangle you make and the price of silver on the day, however material costs for an average hammered bangle is approximately £20. Twisted Ribbon and Wavy bangles use less silver. Tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits are in plentiful supply, but please bring your own lunch. We are a peanut-free venue, thank you.
