4 Week Jewellers Development Course

Service Description

Introducing our 4 week silver jewellery course, a great way to enhance your skills and progress with your jewellery making journey. Have you been to some of our classes and wondered 'what can I do next?' This course is designed with you in mind. We would love to encourage you to design your own jewellery, to learn more skills, to connect with other like minded people and to grow. We are very excited to see where this takes you... TELL ME MORE...... You will spend two sessions designing and making a pendant using mixed metals, including a cabochon stone setting. The following 2 weeks will be spent making a silver ring with applied details. The pendant will be hand pierced to a shape of your choice from sheet silver and copper or brass, with some careful soldering to attach the layers. You will next hand-make a setting to house a cabochon stone before soldering it to your pendant. This will all be polished/finished before setting the stone and popping it onto a chain. Your next project will be the silver ring, using a rectangular making sure it is the perfect size. Once made you can add silver details such as wraps and granulation, learning intricate soldering techniques. These projects are designed to show you plenty of techniques that can help you with future making and inspire you to experiment and get lost in a world that we love!!
