Beginners 6 Week Jewellery Course - September Start

Beginners Jewellery Making @ The Old Dairy

Introduction to jewellery making with simple guided projects. Learn the basic skills like sawing, texturing and soldering.

Course overview

In this 6 week jewellery making course, you will learn simple and practical techniques, making it the ideal first step for those who want to try making jewellery in silver, copper and brass. You will develop confidence and skills to create jewellery using hand tools that are easily accessible and be introduced to workshop tools.

During the course you will make silver, copper and brass jewellery with skills such as sawing, filing, soldering, surface decoration and finishing. You will make your own pendant, ring, bracelet and earrings in silver that have scope for adding your own designs within their surface decoration. You will be surprised how much can be achieved with the use of simple techniques and overcome any nervousness of using the workshop equipment.

All tools and materials with the exception of the Final Project will be provided. There will be guidance and discussion prior to your final project to purchase the required materials and basic tool kits can be purchased prior to the start date or throughout the course.

Each session is 2.5 hours during which there will be a constant flow of tea or coffee and cake!
