Fancy trying something a little different? Want to learn a new skill and create a unique piece of silver jewellery?
This 3.5hr workshop will give you an introduction to silversmithing and the opportunity to design and make your own silver earrings. In a small group of no more than 5 others, you will design the piece you wish to make and learn the basics of silversmithing.
You will learn how to pierce (cut) silver, anneal, texture, and form silver to craft your piece. You will learn to clean and polish your final piece to create something that is a joy to wear. The earrings will be for pierced ears.
Duration: 10am - 1.30pm
All materials are provided.
Silversmithing can be a messy business so please wear clothes that you will be comfortable in, aprons will be provided. Please wear closed toes shoes and ensure that hair is tied back off your face. There is close work involved in working with silver so if you use glasses, please don’t forget them!
This workshop includes a cup of tea or coffee and piece of cake.
