Lunar pendant workshop by Silverkupe in Newcastle
Description
In this workshop, we’ll dive into the advanced technique of reticulation, where you’ll heat sterling silver to create unique, textured surfaces that resemble moonscapes. Every necklace made is one-of-a-kind due to this process. Over 3 hours, you’ll try your hand at piercing and reticulation with guidance at every step to help you craft a necklace that’s uniquely yours. This workshop is all about creative experimentation, letting you create a pendant that’s truly individual. With your booking you will also get a 15% discount voucher towards any jewellery purchase from Silverkupe Jewellery collections. You will also get 10% Discount Voucher for the Biscuit Factory Kitchen where you can get refreshments after a successful workshop.
