Sunday Morning Beginners Jewellery - 4 week course
Workspace Ōtaki, Ōtaki, Kapiti Coast
SUN 01 SEP 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.
This Sunday morning jewellery block is a short class in silver-smithing. Open to beginner students, this means everyone is at the same level and has an excellent foundation to their jewellery learning. Beginners will practice the basic techniques in copper or brass, and then move on quickly to working in silver. The aim of this class is to give you an understanding of jewellery tools, materials and workshop safety. You will learn to cut, heat, shape and solder using a jeweller's torch. Your usual starting point is to create a simple textured ring band. Once you have the basics down, it is fun to create earrings, pendants or other simple items, finally to polishing your work up to a beautiful finish: these classes are super satisfying. Each student receives a materials pack valued at $38 which gives you plenty to create at least a couple of projects. Extra materials available to purchase as you need in class. Our booking system asks for full payment to be made via credit card, Afterpay or PayPal on booking. If you do not have access to these payment methods or need to pay your course fee over time please email us to arrange this ;)
