In these sessions, you will be introduced to the basics of jewellery making.
We will learn a mix of both traditional and contemporary processes from cutting, sizing, shaping, texturing, forming, soldering and polishing. Once we have the initial skills under our belt, we will begin to uncover techniques such as doming, punching, hammering, scribing, granulation and drilling to affect the appearance of your metal in design. Once you have honed your newfound skills, you will move through the classes at your own pace to apply these techniques, creating a set of samples and perhaps even finished pieces of jewellery, from simple hammered rings to earrings and pendants.
There are currently only 6-8 places on the classes, and a large room to learn in. Choose from sitting at a jewellery bench or spreading out across the tables. The perfect class for an individual or a group to come and learn, socialise and most importantly, make some jewellery!
Initially you will be working in copper to produce samples of shapes, textures, forms and to work on your skills and techniques. Basic materials, (excluding silver) will be included. Silver will be available to purchase at the studio when you are ready to make your final piece/s. Only basic skills will be learned in this time, and it is advised to continue on through further blocks to build on your skills having access to the tools. As you move through the blocks, you will begin to be able to work more independently and work on your own projects with guidance as needed.
The class will run each Thursday from 6.30 pm to 8.15 pm.
An 8 week block is set at an introductory price of £208. Block lengths may vary throughout the year from 6-10 weeks.
You do not have to have attended one block, to attend the next, there will always be beginners and returners at the classes
This class is suitable for complete beginners, and those who have attended our jewellery workshops and are looking to take their jewellery journey further, or just make it more regular!
We will not be covering alternative practices or stone settings in this class. If this is what you are looking for, please get in touch to discuss other options, we may offer spin out workshops to cover additional practices.
Please note, that this class will need a minimum of 6 people to run. If the class is under-subscribed, the studio reserves the right to reschedule. You will be notified as early as possible if the class cannot run and will have the option to be refunded in this instance.
Private Groups:
If you have a group of 6+ people, we can offer weekly sessions for your private group where we have availability. Email hello@eastnook.com to discuss the private options.
