This
course aims to teach students the basic principles of jewellery making.
You will start by learning how to use the basic tools required to make
jewellery, such as the piercing saw, benchpeg, pliers, hammers, mandrels
and torch. The first project, a ring, will guide you through the
fundamental techniques of jewellery making, such as piercing, shaping,
filing, sanding, hammering, soldering and finishing. Once your first
project is completed, we will expand into texturing techniques using
hammers and the rolling mill. We will discuss how to design and plan
your second project and depending on what you make, we will cover other
techniques of jewellery making. You will leave with at least two
finished pieces of jewellery in either copper or silver. The tutor can
advise you on further courses to take if you would like to continue
making jewellery. If you have questions before the class starts, please
email the tutor at machidewaard@gmail.com
