Come and spend some time with me in The Workshop !
I can now offer a relaxed, cosy space for you to come have a bash and create your very own silver jewellery…
Warning ! It can become addictive !!! Look what happened to me !
First and foremost, I want your experience to be FUN !!! It's a taster session !
As I only have space for 2 ScruffyDogStudents + Me and of course… Fudge, this lends itself to an unpressurised session… we will go at our own pace… obviously with a brew and biscuit or two !
Experience... (each session lasts 90mins to 2 hours usually)
Making your own ring… Do you want to texture it? Stamp a design into it? Run it through the rolling mill? Or maybe personalise it with some lettering… it’s up to you to decide! You will learn how to cut to size, get the ring prepped for soldering, clean and polish it to the perfect finish... and voila…. a handmade ring to take home!!! Rings are made from 5mm wide sterling silver.
Designing your own Pendant – You start with a slab of 20mm x 1mm thick sterling silver and away you go ! Sketch out a template, then pierce out your desired shape with my trusty saw… Use my stampies or texture plates to create your design ! Wherever your imagination takes you ! Smooth it, shape it and polish it, then drill a small hole for the link ring and add a chain… Maybe make a perfect gift for that someone special !
*You will need to do some homework beforehand… and arrive with a clear goal in mind of what you would like to create !
Making a Bangle – You will learn how to cut to size, prep for soldering… Do you want a round one, an oval or perhaps a hexagon shape. How about texturizing it to make it sparkle, or pop it into a die to create a wave ! It’s up to you ! You are the boss ! Bangles are made from 2mm round sterling silver wire.
So there we are… a little something for everyone I thought…
Just a few things of note… the sessions will take place in my workshop but this is also my home… and I have a giant excitable bearded collie in residence !!! She can be… chatty and impossibly bouncy !
You will have access to all my tools and stampies, the same ones I use every day… it’s taken me years to build my collection !
There are a series of outdoor wooden steps to navigate to get to my Workshop.
I can only offer to folks over 16years of age…
