About this Event
Beginners silversmithing class - come along and make a sterling silver cuff-style bangle. During the class, you will learn how to texture, pierce, form and solder metal. We will finish our bangles with your chosen texture and then we will practice some polishing techniques.
All materials, and refreshments included!
Hosted in our new unit at The BIS on Whitby Street, Hartlepool. Our studio is a 2-minute walk from the train station, if you are driving, there is parking right next to the studio which is free after 6 pm. Our bright and warm studio space has access via stairs or a lift, plus disabled bathroom access.
This workshop has limited spaces meaning each person will have 1:1 time with the tutor and particular attention can be taken when using the blowtorch- this is great for those of you who might find heat work a little scary!
