Jewellery for Beginners - June Long Weekend
Description
Looking to kickstart your jewellery-making journey? Our three-day Jewellery Making for Beginners class on the June Long Weekend is a concentrated and inspiring learning environment that you will love!
Our June Jewellery Making for Beginners 3-day class is perfect for students just starting out who want to 'get in the zone' across multiple days of creativity while building their jewellery-making skillset.
No prior experience is required to join this class.
Over three days of the June long weekend, students learn to make a textured silver ring band, followed by a second project of their own design. Processes focusing on forming and texturing such as doming and stamping will be learned to aid you in your inspiration.
This course aims to give students the confidence and skills to work on and progress their projects while gaining a greater understanding of jewellery techniques and design.
Designed for Beginners, this course is structured to allow students to progress through the foundation stages of jewellery making and incorporate these new skills into jewellery of their own design.
Over the course duration, your tutor will assist with design development, technical issues, and problem-solving as you create your first handmade piece of jewellery.
