Make a brand new piece of jewellery in just three hours with this workshop. You will learn how to make a silver bangle from scratch and take it home with you on the day.
Choose from a selection of samples, find your size, then you’re ready to get making! We will take you through this exciting process step by step until you’ve made your very own piece of silver jewellery!
CAN I DO THIS CLASS?
This class is for complete beginners. Good hand-eye coordination and dexterity are all you need.
WHAT HAPPENS?
You will learn the basics of jewellery making when being taught to make a bangle, this includes sawing, annealing, shaping, forming, soldering, texturing and cleaning.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You don’t need to bring anything with you as we will provide all the equipment and materials needed. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools required to make the rings.
Please wear long hair tied up, don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.
If you need glasses to see things close up, please bring them with you. Making jewellery is fiddly!
At this time we can’t let you borrow our aprons, you are advised to bring your own if you want to protect your clothes.
Due to current protocols, students will need to wear a face-covering [unless they are exempt]. You will be sent the most up to date protocols and clear instructions ahead of the class. We are unable to provide refreshments at this time but please feel free to bring your own water bottles/juice or a flask of tea/coffee.
