Make your own bangle and ring! | Jewellery-making class | Craft Workshop

Come for the morning – or stay for the day! This workshop is for anyone who is interested in creating some unique pieces of jewellery.

I will provide the tuition – you decide on the design, from simple and classic or more ornate – you choose!

An opportunity to create up to THREE pieces of jewellery, while learning some basic skills… just the beginning to get you hooked!

You can have FUN with Copper and Brass – OR if Silver is more your style (for an additional material cost) work in 925 Recycled sterling silver.

NB; Approx material cost for Sterling Silver from £5 to £22. Each piece is individually priced depending on how much silver used, enabling you to be confident in your final costs.

The morning session - Using Copper or Brass wire, you will be taught how to bend and manipulate the metal into wonderful shapes and designs. Learning techniques such as sizing, filing, hammering, forming to shape and finishing to create 2 beautiful pieces unique to you.

If you choose to stay for the afternoon session - In addition to finishing off any work from the morning, you will have the opportunity to create a pair of earrings OR pendant in mixed metal.

The main pieces are pre-cut, allowing you the opportunity to have fun adding texture and creating the design. OR if you are feeling adventurous - cut your own shapes from the Copper or Brass sheet provided.

A skill of making ear wires will complete your work, turning them into a gorgeous pair of earrings.

A choice of plated chains are available to compliment your new pendant - or additional solid chains can also be purchased.
