Sea Glass & Cabachon stone Pendants

Service Description

Using Sea glass found on the Islands beaches or a cabachon semi precious gemstone, you will learn how to set them in silver to create a beautiful natural treasure to wear as a pendant. A lovely day with lots of technical skills to learn. TELL ME MORE...... The day begins with selecting your seaglass or cabachon stone. There are lots of options so this process is always a tricky one!! Equally if you have any of your own treasured seaglass you would like to use please bring it with you. You will carefully create a setting by shaping bezel wire to the shape of your selected piece learning intricate soldering techniques to attach it to the backing. You can choose the shape of your background, as well as the texture of the silver, making each piece individual. Once the pendant is formed and finished you will set the sea glass/stone to keep it safe. IS THIS CLASS RIGHT FOR ME?........ This day is not suitable for total beginners, as it is a more in-depth and fiddly than some of our other courses. We ask that you have been and made something with us before so you are used to working with silver already. Great for those wishing to further their skills or who fancy a bit of a challenge! WHAT SHOULD I BRING?........ Please bring some lunch! We will take a short break in the middle of the day to refuel. We will also keep you topped up with refreshments and sweet treats throughout the day. A notebook is a good idea, as well as glasses if you need them. If you would like to use a piece of your own sea glass please bring a selection with you. For this style of setting they would need to be flatter pieces, no thicker than 5mm. THE IMPORTANT BIT...... Please ensure that long hair is tied back and that you do not wear floaty sleeves or open toe shoes. Your safety is our priority! Over 18's only This class runs from 10am-4pm, although the end time is approximate and may run over slightly Please note - We require a minimum attendance for this workshop to go ahead. If this is not met, we will offer you an alternative date or a refund We can't wait to see you!
