Discover the art of crafting a versatile piece of jewellery inspired by the Roman fibula!
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to use a handheld butane torch to solder multiple joins and create a custom bezel setting for a gemstone. Explore decorative techniques like texturing, attaching trims, adding wire curls, or applying a patina finish.
Finally, assemble your brooch with a gemstone of your choice, polished to perfection. Perfect for accessorising clothing, hats, bags, or even shoes, this class is ideal for anyone passionate about handmade jewellery design.
