Description
Jewellery making courses in Lightwave Jewellery Studio in the New Forest, Hampshire, run by Natalia Shoutova, an independent contemporary jeweller. Learn how to design and make sterling silver and gold jewellery. Choose from bracelets, stacking rings, wedding rings, cocktail rings, brooches or pendant, cuff links and earring sets. You will learn foundation silversmithing and jewellery making techniques, such as forming metal, piercing, soldering and texturing.
