This one-day course is designed for those who have no previous experience of jewellery making. The course provides insight into what is involved in the manufacture and design of modern silver jewellery.
Individuals will learn about basic tools, workshop practice and materials, and will be shown a series of techniques to practice both during the day and at home. Students will have the opportunity to cut out, solder, and polish. It is not essential to bring tools, but please do bring a notebook.
Class One
A brief
introduction to Selina and her work, and chance for you to discuss what you
would like to achieve from the course. Selina will show you with basic
tools and materials required for jewellery making and where to buy them. Then go through workshop environment and Health & Safety
issues.
Selina will go through a series of demonstrations that you will
then have a go at yourself - first under supervision and then with no one
watching you. It will run at a pace that suits you.
