In this workshop you will learn how to drill sea glass and form silver findings in order to create your own unique seaglass jewellery. Under the guidance of silversmith Kate Hunter Parker, you will learn to form silver earring hooks, headpins and jump rings using the methods of annealing, forming and soldering. You will also explore some simple wirework techniques that will complement and bring your seaglass design to life.
All materials and tools are provided. If you did want a different shape or weight of silver there will be some available, there may be a small additional cost for this. There will also be silver necklaces available to purchase.
Please feel free to bring your own sea glass along if you want to use some special pieces you have collected.
