Silver Jewellery Bangles Workshop

Description

A day to learn some basic silver Jewellery techniques and create your own bangles. Learn to use basic tools and techniques to form and texture, hammered or waved bangles to completion. Whilst soldering experience is not necessary, a basic understanding of soldering and forming metal would be advantageous, enabling you more time to focus on your design. However, we practice simple soldering techniques, for those with little or no experience to ensure that all abilities are catered for. On the day you will design and make gorgeous sterling silver bangles. You will be guided through a variety of techniques. You can choose from a variety of designs to make two bangles. You can choose to make hammered textures, using small specialised hammers, waved or plain round bangles or a combination of designs. If you wish, these can be joined together with a large jump ring. We reserve the right to cancel the event if we do not have a minimum of 3 people, in which case your payment will be fully refunded. To ensure the quality of your personal experience, the classes are limited to four people. You will have quality time to ask any questions you might have, and guided help along the way. You will be provided with an apron and safety glasses but please wear workshop appropriate clothing on the day (no open toe shoes or loose clothing) for your safety. Please get in touch if you’d like a group booking on an alternative date. About the workshop Make your own bangles - choice of different designs and textures.
