In this practical class you'll come away with original jewellery you created!
We'll cover a range of foundation skills including soldering, sawing, and look at making different types of jewellery such as rings, earrings and chains.
Experienced tauira will have the opportunity to work on personal projects, with guidance on more advanced techniques such as stone setting, making bezels & sand casting.
Your Toi Kaiako will also guide you through important studio safety practices.
In our supportive and inspiring studio environment, you can experiment with materials and techniques and create something truly unique. Whether you’re just starting or looking to push your skills further, this class will help you bring your creative vision to life and deepen your appreciation for the alchemical magic of jewellery making.
Jewellery is now open to students of ALL levels - beginners and Level 4 students are very welcome!
