Who are our classes suitable for?
Our 3-week taster course is suitable for complete beginners or those who have made jewellery previously and are looking for a refresher course. The course is a great way to see if you enjoy making jewellery; you can progress to our weekly classes or one day specialist workshops afterwards.
Over the 3 weeks we introduce you to the workshop, tools, equipment and cover health and safety. You will learn a range of traditional jewellery and silversmithing techniques including saw piercing, heating, soldering, forming, texturing, embossing, filing, polishing and finishing.
What will you make?
Initially you will experiment with aluminium to produce a range of samples and test pieces, some of which will become earrings. You will then explore copper and brass to make a mixed metal pendant with the addition of silver, finally you will make a simple silver ring, learning how to size and solder to make the perfect fit.
Our jewellery making facilities:
We have a well-equipped traditional jewellery workshop with a good variety of machinery and hand tools. We also have a good selection of specialist tools. Students work at their own individual jewellery bench, we have separate soldering areas and larger communal workbenches.
What’s included?
All materials are included in the cost of this course. Tea and coffee are also included.
The workshop is fun and informative, and no previous experience is needed. Small class sizes ensure individual tuition from your qualified experienced tutor.
