Description

Learn how to make 3 textured recycled silver stacking rings in 3 hours with Sarah & Mat at Hove Jewellery Works. Each student will be guided through the process of making 3 textured stacking rings using hand tools and jewellery making equipment. Under the guidance of your experienced tutor you will learn the following skills: - annealing (heating) - forming (hammering, doming and shaping) - soldering - sizing - texturing - filing - papering (finishing process) - polishing All students will start the day with a piece of recycled silver wire and learn how to form, size and texture each band to create 3 individual slim rings (all the same size). Our experienced tutor will guide you through each process on the path to producing your desired piece. We used recycled Eco silver in all of our classes and avoid the use of newly mined materials where possible. It is important to us to lesson the impact our jewellery school has on the planet. By using recycled materials we are committed to positive change. Do let us know if you have any questions via the "message the tutor" button. We look forward to meeting you, Sarah & Mat
