Tell me about it

As we hurtle towards Autumn and eventually into Winter, we can turn our attention to those pretty leaves falling from the trees. In fact, they are pretty, aren't they? We should totally do a new class based around creating a beautiful leaf pendant! Right, that's it... you convinced us, let's do it!

Can I do this class?

Yep, this brand new class is for people brand new to jewellery making! Or maybe you're just excited to see a new class and fancy coming back for another go at being creative? No matter what skill level, this one's for you!

What happens?

You'll be introduced to the fantastic technique of roll printing, which will transfer the lovely leaf skeleton pattern onto your piece of silver. You'll then roll it again, this time with your chosen leaf template, which will show you where to saw pierce your shape. Follow the lines and saw it out nice and neat! You'll then either drill a hole for a jump ring, or solder it on top before choosing how to finish, and adding the chain.

Do I need to bring anything?

Bring a sketchbook or something for taking notes etc. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools and materials required to make the ring. You won’t need anything else as we provide 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!
