Riveted Cup Earrings - Beginner Class

Riveted Cup Earrings - Beginner Class

Playing with textures and Cold Connections


Description

This is a fun class where we get to explore the use of texture in design, through use of the rolling mill and a variety of hammers.

 We will be forming and riveting these textured elements together into a unique-to-you pair of earrings, so come for a day of exploration and play at Gilded Poppy Makery!

BEGINNER CLASS: No experience necessary. I will teach you everything you need to know to complete this project on the day.

What you will learn

  • Cold connections and texture for the win! Making beautiful jewellery doesn't always require a torch!

What you will get

  • You'll be with me from 10:00 am to 6: 00 pm (unless you're all speedy and we finish up earlier!) so I'll have coffee and tea available for you at anytime, and when we break for lunch, there are a number of cafes and eateries nearby, or you can bring your own lunch if you prefer.
Parking Info

Parking is easily available in Dorset Square. If you're coming for a 3 hour class, you can park anywhere the 3 hour limit is sign posted. If you're coming for an all-day class, you can park on the roof level of the Coles Parking Building for free all-day parking.


What to bring

  • Nope! Just yourself as everything you need will be provided in class.

What to wear

This is a no-fire day at the Makery, so anything you’d be comfy in for the day is fine. A suggestion though would be to avoid trailing sleeves that can get caught up in the work, and to keep rings and bracelets to snag-free pieces.

Appropriate for

This is a beginner level class, and open to all. Steady hands is a bonus, but we can work around anything.

Welcome to the home of Gilded Poppy Makery, a fun, relaxing place to learn the art of Silversmithing.
Here you will meet new friends as you take raw materials and turn them into beautiful pieces of jewellery that will thoroughly impress your friends and family.

Small, intimate classes of no more than five people ensure plenty of one-on-one time with Storm as you put your new skills to the test creating a wide range of projects including rings, earrings, cuffs, bracelets and pendants.

The various classes will cover techniques such as Soldering, Pierce-work, Filing and Finishing, Stone Setting, Fold-forming, Etching, Enamelling, Metal Clay, Kumihimo Cord Making, Viking knit, Wire Wrapping, Bone Carving and so much more. It's fair to say that there is something for everyone, and you won't be bored any time soon!

Book into your class today and bring a friend or two. With a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 people, these classes are perfect way to escape from the daily rat-race for yourself, or as a crafty get-together with friends.

Gilded Poppy Makery is a warm, inclusive place where learning is fun and mistakes are celebrated as 'Design Features' (we have a sticker with that very thing on it!). Bring your curiosity and a sense of humour and join us at the workbench.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all,

Cheers,

Storm

What an amazing class, I am used to attending creative courses and being slightly disappointed with what I have created because I am not as great as I want to be!! This class was different, the earrings I made were fantastic thanks to Storm and her patience and expertise, my daughter's all thought I had bought the earrings rather than made them which I thought was very high praise. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone, a very fun experience with amazing earrings to take home.

Thank you so much Rachael!"
When our teenagers love our creations (ESPECIALLY teenagers! ;-) ) it's high praise indeed!
I had a blast with you in class, and you made a stunning pair of earrings that I'd wear in a heartbeat!
Wonderful to have met you, and I look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Cheers!

Great class with clear and simply instructions that allowed you to complete the project. Storm was very helpful and had lots of knowledge. Had lots of fun.

Hey Sarah!

Thank you so much for the great review. You absolutely nailed those earrings; the textures you chose were pure magic and worked so perfectly together.
I had a great day with you in class, and I look forward to seeing you again at the Makery :-)
Cheers!
