Woodland animals Silver Pendant workshop

Description

If you have always wanted to learn about the craft of making a piece of silver jewellery, our interactive workshop is a really fun way to do so. We have a cosy workshop space in Exeter, where you will learn about the whole process involved in making a beautiful piece of jewellery. This course is to make and take home a woodland themed pendant. Please see my other courses for different items to make. During this workshop we will make a pendant based on a woodland animal theme. We use a template to create the pendant which is around 3cm in size. Be prepared for some fine line sawing and plenty of filing as we piece together your woodland animal. (Remember your glasses if needed for close work). The pendant (size and price), is based on an allocated amount of silver and copper sheet, the backing is made in copper as your starting base, we layer up 2-3 pieces to make your animal. I also have brass if preferred over copper. Please note, should you wish to use only silver for the whole piece, this will incur additional charge for material. This is a great experience day to give as a present, or to book for yourself! We have space for two people in the workshop, so you have great dedicated support. The course is based on a piece that can be completed during this time, therefore a basic design, and shape/size, is offered so that all elements of this course can enable you to get a taste of silversmithing, and leave the course with a shiny new item of jewellery. If you have a specific style or item you would like to make, bespoke courses can also be arranged. Silver material may vary depending on availability. Important note: Please select 'message the maker' with your preferred date.

I've designed and made silver and gold jewellery for 27 years, learning it first as a hobby at evening classes, then onto the Mid Devon School of Jewellery to hone specific skills of the craft, and then perfecting this over many years. I prefer working in the old silver-smith style, with basic tools to create lovely unique pieces of jewellery. The workshop is designed to give an insight into the basics and share some of the skills I've learnt.
