Jewellery Workshops

The workshops are an introduction to silver jewellery making using basic techniques to create your very own handmade piece of jewellery. The courses will run from 10am to 3pm (approx.) and prices include all silver and materials used*.  A light lunch and refreshments will be provided through the course but if you have any particular dietary requirements or allergies, please let me know or feel free to bring your own.

A Safe Environment

The workshops will be carried out in a safe and controlled environment and fully insured under a Public Liability Policy.

 

Materials Included

All materials and tools are supplied and you will be guided through the process of creating your own unique piece of silver jewellery to take home with you.

* A set amount of silver is included in the price however, should you wish to go bigger or bolder on your design and more silver is used, there will be an additional cost for materials calculated on the day* (this could apply especially on a 1:1 workshop)

Group Bookings

Please note if booking as a group, to avoid time loss please consider what item you would like to make prior to the day.  You have a choice of making a Necklace/Pendant, a pair of Earrings or a Ring.  An idea of shape or design beforehand would be of benefit however a range of templates, shapes & textures will be available to choose from!

 

Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for bookings.

This class is suitable for complete beginners and is an introduction to jewellery making and basic techniques. I keep the class sizes small (no more than 4 students) to enable enough time to complete your piece.  The workshops are organic and if for any reason we dont complete the item in the time given, I will complete the final finishing for you. If you want to learn something more challenging, or create a more bespoke piece, I will be able to offer all the tuition you need and would recommend the 1:1 Workshops for this.  

You will be introduced to the basic techniques of working with silver and making jewellery, including:

• Cutting, sawing and filing
• Metal forming using hammers, mandrels and pliers
• Soldering
• Surface manipulation – texturing & decoration
• Finishing and polishing.

You will create your very own piece of silver jewellery from start to finish. Beginning with your design, creating a copper or brass template, right through your finished sterling silver piece. 

Your only limitation will be the time available and the set amount of material provided. I will advise on the day if we need to scale back your ambitions based on these factors. *Additional costs may apply if more silver is used in your design.

I have all the tools and equipment you will need to work with on the day.

Included in the price of the class is Sterling Silver for you to work with, along with brass and copper to practise your designs with. *Additional costs may apply if more silver is used in your design.

A SAFE SPACE TO CREATE IN

Due to the nature of the processes undertaken, including the use of tools, drills, fire and a small exposure to certain chemicals, the workshops will be carried out in a safe and controlled environment under full guidance and tuition.  The workshops are carried out in my studio and are fully insured under a Public Liability Policy.

“Really pleased with the piece I made,  I was surprised I was able to make such a lovely ear cuff in my 1 to 1 workshop, using a piece of red sea glass I had collected on a beach in Cornwall.  Emma is patient and helpful, a wonderful teacher.  What a lovely environment to spend the day in too!”

Vicky Baylis – Artist
