EmailPunching, hammering, embossing! These are some of the techniques you will learn in this 3-hour ring-making workshop where you will learn the fundamentals of silver jewellery making!
The possibilities really are endless as to what surface texture you can create on silver with a little imagination, and you will be able to play and experiment to your heart's content and create a unique, wearable piece of art to take away at the end of the session!
This masterclass is suitable for complete beginners, or those with some previous jewellery-making experience that would like to experiment further with texture on metal. The small class size means that you'll get plenty of one-on-one help to bring your creation to life.
What to expect:
- Experiment with texture and design in copper initially before making it from silver
- Learn about the materials and tools used in silver jewellery making
- One-on-one help from an experienced jeweller
- All materials and tools provided
- Refreshments provided throughout the session
Use a variety of different tools and techniques to create your personalised piece, from letter punches to the rolling mill to replicate the texture of many fabrics, papers, laces and more!
