5th July 2025
We start with an orientation of the workshop and the tools you will be working with over the next three days. Then we make jewellery! You will learn to make a silver ring by using many jewellery making techniques. These include, sawing, texturing, forming, filing and soldering. Once happy with your ring, you will polish it, choosing a satin on mirror finish. You will then choose a gemstone or piece of seaglass to set on your ring.
You will then elevate your jewellery making skills by creating a bezel cup to set your stone. This is a time-consuming job but incredibly rewarding. You can choose to add a beaded detail to the setting. You will then solder the cup to your ring, repolish and start to set the stone. You can choose to blacken the setting for a final antique look.
Please bring glasses if needed for close-up work, an apron, your lunch and dress in comfy clothes and closed toe footwear.
