This inspiring Sunday morning jewellery blocks are the best way for beginners to get into jewellery making in a lively, warm and friendly environment! The course starts on Sun 21 July and runs for 4 weeks until Sun 11 August, 1pm - 3.30pm.
Beginners will practice the basic techniques in copper or brass and then move on quickly to working in silver. An excellent first project for beginners in this class is to create a simple textured ring band - but once you have the basics down, it is fun to create earrings, pendants or other simple items. Learning to cut, heat, form and texture metal - to solder using a jeweller's torch and silver solder, and finally to polish your work up to a beautiful finish: these classes are super satisfying.
These blocks are also a great way for existing students or more advanced makers to join into a class in our well equipped warm and bright studio! Basic materials are supplied and there are extra materials available to purchase as you need in class.
