Design and make your own silver Jewellery items to wear home or give as a gift (Christmas is coming!). We will start with some supplied templates but you can then adapt and personalise your piece in your own way. You will be introduced to Piercing (sawing) and Gas Torch work, the two must-haves for the creation of jewellery. The Tutor will help you build on the skills you learn over the day covering shaping, filing, texturing and finishing your pieces to a lovely polished shine. A set amount of Silver is supplied with the cost of the course.
This is a wonderful introduction to metalwork and a fun way to get in the Christmas mood! (Santa Hats are optional)
What you need: There will be a 30-minute break for lunch so please bring some food with you.
Tutor: Alex Twin
Alex worked for Links of London for many years as their engraver but now loves working from her own bench in her shed! (It's a very nice shed). She likes nothing more than making jewellery from scratch and wants to spread the joy of just how satisfying hitting metal with hammers and soldering with gas torches can be - the possibilities are endless!
