Introduction to Jewellery | for beginners | One - day course

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.

Techniques and skills taught in this class will be: Cutting and piercing silver, basic shaping/bending/manipulating, Hammering, Soldering, Filing and finishing and lastly Polishing.

Once the basics have been learnt Selina will help you make a simple ring. You will cut, solder, file and polish a perfect piece of jewellery that you will be able to take home with you at the end of the day. Materials are included up to the value of £15.
