Jewellery Open Studio - Get Creative! | Term Four, 2024
Experiment with jewellery making techniques and grow your understanding of metal forming, design, heat application and soldering. Build your confidence as a jeweller and learn how to self-manage creative projects, concept development/design and see them through from start to finish.
If you’re just starting to learn how to make jewellery your tutor will guide you in some simple projects that you can complete by the end of the term.
For those with some jewellery making experience - It's an opportunity to finish off projects started in previous terms or perhaps try out that technique you never got around to with one-on-one tutor guidance.
Great timing with the end of the year approaching to get those gifts finished or, to start thinking about how you will continue to make over the summer break.
Suitable for all levels.
