Description

The 3 day Long Weekend School is a perfect introduction to jewellery making and jewellery design. All tools and base metals, (copper and brass) are provided, as well as a strip of sterling silver for your first piece. This course is designed to allow students to progress through the foundation stages of metalsmithing. Your tutor will assist you with design development, technical issues and problem-solving. There is no prerequisite for this course.

Students will learn a range of fundamental techniques over the 3 full days of the course and students will make copper or brass saw piercing and texturing samples and a sterling silver ring band as their first soldered project. This may be followed by another sterling silver jewellery piece of the student's own design if time permits. Processes focusing on forming and texturing such as doming, embossing and stamping will be learnt to aid inspiration.

I thoroughly enjoyed the three-day workshop. Our tutor and teacher Emily was very welcoming, has a wealth of experience and is a great teacher. We learned the basics of jewellery making and all the processes of annealing, cleaning and polishing. The studio itself it spacious and light filled; there are plants everywhere and and enormous amount of tools on display. It was fun and I would highly recommend this course. I would love to do a follow up course! Thank you Emily :) Barbara

Such an amazing experience. Emily is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She made understanding the principles of jewellery making so clear and was so thorough in her explanations and demonstrations. I’ve come away from this intensive course with a great understanding of jewellery making and I can’t wait to continue my journey.
