Join professional jeweller Eschelle Walters to craft your own sterling silver bangle in The Studio. This class introduces essential silversmithing skills, including measuring, forming, twisting and soldering a bangle, pickling, filing and sanding. Attendees have the option to use tools such as a hammer, brass brush or diamond burr to create a textured look or use a tumbler to achieve a polished finish.
This workshop is suitable for beginners or participants with some silversmithing experience. Round or rectangular silver wire will be used to make the bangles in this workshop. The width of the bangles will be approximately 2.5mm. Class sizes are small to enable one-on-one teaching, so book early to ensure your spot.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Eschelle Walters is a professional jeweller based in Gurambilbarra / Townsville. She creates unique bespoke commissions for her clients in a range of precious metals and stones. From sentimental and special occasion rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets, to the repair and restoration of beloved antiques. Eschelle is passionate about all areas of jewellery from faceting the raw gemstones, to recycling metal and repurposing heirloom pieces. She is inspired by the natural beauty, colours, and geometry of our world.
Please note that participants will be working with micro motors for extended periods of time, and that jewellery-making requires looking at small objects closely. There will also be supervised use of a gas blowtorch. A Workshop Access Requirements Form will need to be completed prior to the workshop day. Attendees must wear closed in shoes, tie their hair back and bring vision correcting glasses if they are normally worn. Umbrella will provide each participant with safety glasses and a P2 rated mask.
