You will be part of a small group of up to 5 participants. By the end of the 4 hour workshop you will have your very own, hand made, pendant. Ideal as a Christmas gift or perhaps just to keep!
All materials, tools and tuition are included in the price - sterling silver and fine silver. Also included is an 18 inch sterling silver chain and a gift box.
If you would like to bring your own seaglass then you are very welcome to. Your seaglass needs to be no smaller than 0.8cm x 0.8cm and no bigger than 1.5cm x 1.5cm, with a maximum depth of 4.5mm and be evenly and well tumbled. It should sit flat on a table with no/little wobble, but if you're unsure, then bring it all along and we can have a look to find the right piece.
During the 4 hours, you will learn to design your own piece of jewellery from scratch by choosing your seaglass piece. You will make the back plate for the bezel from silver sheet; you’ll learn how to make the perfect size bezel for your glass and solder the back plate, bezel together. You will also learn how to make the hoops on which your pendant will hang. Lastly you will file and polish your pendant and set your seaglass. You'll be surprised how much you can learn in 4 hours.
You will need to have good dexterity and strength in your fingers and be able to see what you are doing so that you can solder using a blow torch safely. However if there are aspects of the process that you are unable to do that’s fine, I can help you and you can do the rest, just let me know in advance.
The minimum age for this workshop is 12 due to the use of extreme heat and chemicals and children need to be accompanied by a participating adult, please.
Session start time is 9:30am
You will be provided with snacks and a glass of Prosecco as part of this festive workshop.
Bookings are non-refundable, however, if you are unable to make a workshop, and give at least 72 hours notice, I will always try to accommodate a change of date where possible. I intend to run Sessions monthly.
