In this vibrant jewellery making class, you'll learn how to create your own distinctive gemstone earrings in sterling silver from scratch. Choose a gemstone from a variety of semi precious stones.
Upon booking, participants will receive an email with instructions on simple silver soldering and safety in the studio.
You will be guided through the process at your own pace, from designing your custom piece, to soldering, filing, sanding, polishing and finishing your new treasure.
The workshop will also cover the art of crafting ear hooks with sterling silver wire, adding an extra layer of skill to the earring-making experience.
This activity uses butane gas powered, hand held torches which are simple and easy to use on small jewellery pieces.
Wear covered shoes and bring a water bottle. Safety glasses are provided.
Tea and coffee is available.
