Silver Cufflinks Class

In this class you will learn how to make a pair of textured silver cufflinks.

Textures can be applied using a rolling mill, or for convenience, a range of pre-etched silver sheets will be made available to choose from.

You will learn how to create a hollow form to give the illusion of depth whilst keeping the object nice and light, which also reduces material costs.

You will make a toggle mechanism from scratch using silver wire and we'll discuss a few different approaches to engineering a variety of cufflink findings.

There will be a number of finishing options to consider and apply to your designs.

They would make a great Christmas gift for those in the family who don't usually receive jewellery!
