Pewter Cuff Making

Description

Cuff Making with Pewter Jewellery workshop Saturday April 19th 2025 1:00pm- 4.00pm No previous experience is necessary for this workshop. We know first hand how fun it is to be able to make bespoke jewellery and get requests for the chance to have a go in the studio so we created this opportunity. Grab a bench and get making! 1:00pm- 4.00pm (teen sleep friendly timings!) Students will be taught a little theory about the thick pewter material they will be working with then will be set free to experiment on how to build texture, surface interest and design motifs using stamps, pendant motors, rolling mills and hammering. Pewter* material is provided in course price. *Pewter is no longer made with lead in case you are wondering. Lead was removed from the composition in 1974, by BS5140, reinforced by the European directive BSEN611 in 1994. All the pewter I purchase is from the UK. It is safe to wear on the skin and for food and beverage use. It looks alot like silver but is far more affordable with silver prices sky high. Refreshments including juice and biccys will be available but be sure to have eaten a good lunch before you arrive. A sketchbook, pencil and a water bottle would be helpful to bring along. Please bring along glasses if you need them and wear appropriate clothing for a studio environment including closed-toe shoes and hair must be tied up. I will be asking nicely for phones to be turned off for focus and safety but photos and videos of progess will be encouraged. Please arrive 15 min before the start of class. More details will be emailed 1 week before the class. The Studio 7-9 Glassworks Lancaster LA1 1NZ By booking you agree to our Terms and Conditons
