Tell me about it
Let’s play with FIRE! Casting is a vital part of jewellery making, with some of the various techniques being millennia old. But there’s also some new kids on the block that we can take a look at, too. While all of them simply require you to pour molten metal into a negative mould or various surfaces, or just make it splash, it’s the preparation and how you actually pour that shiny melty liquid that makes all the difference. Each of the methods create different results, meaning you can pick and choose which one to use for each individual job you’re creating.
Because things now are far more structured, you can now plan ahead and choose when and how you’d like to learn jewellery making. Once you have completed this six week run, you have plenty of choice! You can choose to focus on Core Jewellery Skills of Necklaces, Rings [both returning for 2026 after running early in the year], Brooches and Bangles/Bracelets, or return for more Speciality Skills of Surface Patterns, Stone Setting [back in ‘26 again], and Alternative Materials. Or if you fancy just relaxing and playing around at your own pace, we offer Freestyle Sessions.
