Give me the info…
In this four-hour Taster Session, you make not one, not two, but THREE pairs of silver earrings! From basic materials and completely from scratch, you will make a pair of textured studs, forged drop earrings and hammered hoops.
Can I do this class?
This class is for complete beginners. A reasonable level of hand-eye coordination and dexterity is all that is needed.
What happens?
You will learn the basics of jewellery making while making your very own earrings. This includes sawing, annealing, forging, soldering, texturing, roll printing and cleaning.
Do I need to bring anything?
Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools and materials required to make the earrings. You won’t need anything else as we provide all the equipment needed for this session.
Please wear long hair tied up [or bring something to do so], don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.
If you need glasses to see things close up, please bring them with you. Making jewellery is fiddly!
Who is teaching me?
You will be taught by one of our fantastically talented jewellery tutors
