About the event
What you will make: Throughout the sessions you will be introduced to different projects, which you will choose to either make, adapt, or continue a project from a previous session. Projects include, but are not limited to, stacking rings or bangles, Keum boo, wire formed pendants, and stone setting projects. Basic materials are included to make the 4 projects listed, however, if you wish to make adaptions to the projects, additional silver, cubic zirconia’s and gold foil is available to purchase in class along with different jewellery findings and chains. You will be given a kit at your first session which includes 50cm of sterling silver wire, 10g silver clay, two cubic zirconia stones, and a piece of 24 carat gold foil.
What you will learn: You will be introduced to all tools and equipment as we use them, where I will explain about each stage as we go. You will learn different texturing techniques, how to manipulate wire with pliers and form rings and bangles on mandrel as well as how to solder and polish your jewellery.
