This truly was a labour of love. Made over several terms, this elaborate sculpture....well, it's a brooch, but it truly is a miniature sculpture......is made of copper and brass. The copper was etched and the pieces are at different heights, held up by pegs.

Here it is from the side so you can see the elevations.

This too was a labour of love, mostly because it involved a LOT of annealing. This 8cm silver bowl has a textured inside and a burnished edge.

Another labour of love....an epic project involving specially made toads from Ukraine! Amazing twisted wire cuff bangle. Many tests were done with various wires before the right combination was found!

And last, but certainly not least, silver basket set cz cabochons earrings - isn't that colour great!?

Continue learning silver jewellery making with an emphasis on more
challenging projects. Students will be guided through a series of
projects or a single more complex project. The focus will be on
developing skills, so the class is for learners with some experience,
but basic techniques will be reviewed as necessary. We will cover
techniques including but not limited to stone setting and complex
soldering. Full instruction in the use of tools and equipment will be
given. Students can work in silver or copper or brass.
