Make silver jewellery - one day workshop
Description
This is a one day introductory course in making silver jewellery. The day is designed for people with little or no experience of silver jewellery making, or for those experienced in making silver jewellery. Learn about basic tools, workshop practice and traditional jewellery techniques for working in silver. You will make and finish a simple band ring in the morning and then in the afternoon move on to learning to texture metals and cut out sheet silver to make a pendant or a pair of earrings. People with some experience will have the day tailored to your level. Please get in touch before the day if you have a specific project in mind so that I can be sure to have materials in stock for you. The workshops are held in my studio next to the River Tamar near Bere Alston in West Devon. The group size is small, so you will have plenty of individual attention.
