Jewellery making course
AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKING CONTEMPORARY SILVER JEWELLERY
Suitable for complete beginners or jewellers up to intermediate level
Claire offers hands on courses learning the skills needed to design and make a unique piece of silver jewellery. She teaches adults on a 1:1 basis or in groups of up to four students in a well equipped workshop just outside Ruthin in north east Wales.
Starting with an introduction to tools, basic techniques and safe working, you will learn and practice the principles of soldering. You will also experiment with piercing, texturing and forming so that you can incorporate any of these techniques into your piece.
So to avoid designer’s block, you will be asked to send 3 or 4 drawings beforehand of what you think you would like to make.… and we will analyse each of your drawings against some key design principles so that your piece is not only beautiful, but makeable too!
By the end of the day, you will have created your own design in sterling silver, and you can expect to have made at least one of the following: a ring, bangle, pair of earrings or a pendant. Click here to see work from other students.
