Each student will start the day with a piece of silver sheet. You will then learn how to repeatedly heat or 'reticulate' for a unique effect, cut your desired shape and file, polish and solder a jump ring so you can add your pendant to a chain. All students will leave the session with a wonderfully textured and finished necklace, made for themselves or as a handmade gift to someone special. We use recycled silver where possible. Under the guidance of your tutor you will learn the following skills -
-
annealing (heating)
-
forming (hammering and shaping)
-
soldering
-
sizing
-
texturing
-
filing
-
papering (finishing process)
-
polishing
.
The class will be a duration of up to 3 hours. Our experienced tutor will provide you with everything you need on the path to producing your desired pieces. Prior to the class we will send you a welcome letter and induction form via email. This will contain all the things you will need for the day.
We look forward to meeting you.
