After a record sell-out of our first two evening courses, I am delighted to offer a third 6 week evening course in silver jewellery and silver clay for beginners! All our workshops are all 5* reviewed - please check out our testimonials here: www.cannygoose.shop/testimonials
There's no better way to learn to make your own silver jewellery than to immerse yourself in a fun 6 week evening course.
During this course, you'll have the opportunity to build your skills and knowledge in easy to digest bite-size sessions.
With a small group size of up to 6 people, I'll guide you and teach you everything you need to know throughout the 6 weeks to make 5 pieces of jewellery to include:
*A set of 3 silver stacking rings
*Silver clay charms or a pendant
*A silver chain bracelet
*A pair of silver earrings
*A personal project
In week 1, we'll cover off some basic skills in cutting, forming metal and soldering to make a set of 3 silver stacking rings. You can texture and pattern your metal using hand tools or engraving tools. You might like to choose patterned wires, make your own twisted wire or turn round wire into square wire. Whatever you choose, it's a great way to start understanding the basics and the art of the possible!
Week 2 is all about imagination and creativity. You can do so much with earrings, so let your hair down and get those creative juices flowing!
In week 3, you'll learn a new technique entirely with an introduction to the magic that is silver clay! You'll be able to make a few charms to go on your own hand-made chain bracelet which we'll introduce in week 4. If you'd rather make a pendant for a necklace than charms for a bracelet, then this option will be available.
During week 4, you'll learn the slightly trickier art of chain making. It takes consistency and patience but by now, you'll have developed the soldering skills and knowledge you need to understand how to solder several joins on one piece of jewellery.
In week 5, you'll have time to finish any of your previous projects and if time allows it's time to start your own personal project which will see you through to the end of week 6.
You'll be provided with the materials required to make all of your pieces, however, should you wish to buy gemstones and metal upgrades/additional materials for your personal project then these will be available to you from week 5.
This is a wonderfully fun introduction to making your own silver jewellery and will give you all the basic knowledge you need to go on to design and make your own jewellery in future!
