4 Week Silver Jewellery Course

This is a 4 week course covering the basics of silversmithing to make jewellery. Week one - Introduction to the workshop, and simple exercises to familiarise learners with the basic tools, and health and safety aspect of the course. This week will be entirely focussed on saw piercing, with lots of copper and project templates available to practise sawing for the whole session. This practise will deffo get your hand and eye in! Week Two - Focussing on circles, this session will ensure that you are confident in the maths behind creating rings, and will give an opportunity to create a fair few circles to be made into rings, bangles, and pendants allowing lots of time to re visit soldering techniques and cleaning and polishing the finished piece. You will create a silver ring and lots of copper circles. Week Three – During this session you will create a stunning pair of hoop, stud or dangle silver earrings. With lots of copper to try out techniques and designs, you will then create your silver earrings to take home. Week Four -. A lovely finish to the course, which I hope will have given you a really good basis for taking your silversmith skills further this session, this session sees us creating a stunning silver cuff. Creating gorgoues textures and finishes to ensure that your cuff is truly unique. This course is brilliant for those who have maybe completed a workshop previously and got the bug. It's suitable for beginners or improvers and there are a range of projects each week to suit. The course price includes lots of copper for practise, and enough silver to create each project.
