Duration: 6 hours
This taster class introduces beginners to basic traditional silver jewellery making techniques. It’s an ideal class to join if you have little to no jewellery making experience. Our experienced tutor will guide you through the entire process.
You will become familiar with a range of jewellery making tools to create your piece such as a piercing saw and a polishing motor. You will create surface texture using a texturing hammer and learn how to solder using a jewellers torch.
On completion of the class you will have a basic understanding of working with silver and a beautiful sterling silver bangle ready to wear!
We run a very friendly and relaxed workshop at Kingham Jewellery School, all our taster classes offer a gentle learning curve for beginners to start making jewellery and try something new. If you’re completely new to jewellery making, and unsure if a beginner term might be too much of a time investment, a taster class is worth considering.
This class is suitable for all beginners. No previous experience in jewellery making is necessary to enrol on this course.
The silver to make a single bangle is included in the cost of this course, (approximately £25). If you would like to make more than one piece, time permitting, you may purchase additional materials from the jewellery school on the day of your class.
Cost of course materials can vary based on amount required and fluctuations in market prices.
