Ring Bling, Beginners Jewellery | Term Four, 2024

This class for beginner students who want to get a taste of jewellery making.
Make simple rings as a starting project. Get to grips with the tools and techniques - cutting, heating, forming and soldering of metals.
Learn roller printing, the fun and quick way to print beautiful textures into metal, or try saw-piercing shapes out of your sheet. Then experiment with what you can make from a flat sheet of metal as a starting point.
Priority will be given to beginner students. Space permitting, intermediate and advanced students are most welcome, and will be expected to experiment with jewellery making techniques and to grow their understanding of metal forming, heat application and soldering. We will also look at setting odd shaped stones.
