Jewellery Classes past and future

Last week I taught a two day course at the Missenden Abbey Summer School on jewellery making with an emphasis on tube setting. It was a busy two days and we covered a LOT of techniques and did lots of soldering!! Here are some of the results - rings with tube set 3mm CZ:

Most students also made pendants, although one students made a more complicated ring (unfinished in photo) which will hold two 5mm stones at jaunty angles to the ring shank.

If you fancy making something like this, more classes coming up in September at Studio E174 in High Wycombe! I also have classes at Chesham and High Wycombe Adult Learning Centres, for more information, see here: http://www.adultlearningbcc.ac.uk/courseList.aspx?SearchCriteria=jewellery&Page=1&contentID=&Orderby=&Direction=&town=&CatID=0&dtFrom=&dtTo=
