Course Length

2 days - Saturday and Sunday 10:00 - 16:00

Participants will start the weekend by exploring the interior of our art school whereby those participating are encouraged to capture different textures and patterns found. These can be captured via different forms such as basic sketching or rubbing which is considered to be the oldest form of printmaking.

Alternatively, participants can capture detail through digital photography using their own digital devices.

This method enables participants to alter their findings using editing software already installed in their personal device.

Once collected, participants are invited to return to the jewellery workshop where they will learn how to translate their findings onto metal. Here, participants will be introduced to hammering techniques, the process of embossing and the process of acid etching.

Following this, participants will be taught how to transform their designs into wearable pieces of art. This will involve techniques such as saw piercing and soldering and will also incorporate finishing techniques.
