This 3-hour class is held in our Ōtaki Beach studio!Using copper or brass to practice, then moving on to work in sterling silver, you'll learn to cut, heat and apply textures that mimic the textures of nature. Print feathers and dried grasses into your metal using specialised jewellery tools. It's like a magic trick!
Choose your favourite texture and create a beautiful silver ring to wear away - or to gift to someone special.
Learn to measure your finger, cut metal to length and texture it without rolling mill, hammers and punches. Then use a jewellers torch, sandpaper and polishing, and your beautiful new ring will be ready to wear.
This 3-hour class is ideal for beginners, groups of friends and visitors to the city.
