JEWELLERY WORKSHOP - JUWEELWORKSHOP - ATELIER DE BIJOUTERIE
This is for all your brooch lovers. We make a brooch out of a simple form while concentrating on different models of clasps.
This workshop is for beginners who want quick results, without passing by the base techniques like sawing and filing. They make a brooch with 1 simple clasp. But it is also for students who already followed the ‘Basic techniques + soldering’ workshop and want to discover the more complex clasps and how to solder them.
We work with 2 fixed models: one to learn the basics for absolute beginners who don’t know how to solder yet, one for students who already know some basics of soldering, to move up a level. There is therefore no freedom of choice of designs, as in the other workshops. You learn different techniques directly on the chosen model.
