Jewellery-making in 4 weeks - Saturday Mornings, Level 2+
Workspace Ōtaki, Ōtaki, Kapiti Coast
SAT 04 OCT 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.
This class is for students at level 2 or higher and is not open to beginners. This advanced class is ideal for those who are already competent at soldering simple joins, annealing, and basic tool use on their own. Students must have completed a minimum of two 4-week blocks or one 6-week block. If you are unsure of your level, please contact us for advice.
An advanced set of students means that your tutor can support you to take on more exciting and complex challenges. They will work with the group to find appropriate projects. Each 4-week block may focus on a particular skill topic, rather than covering many different topics for each student.
Level 2 students will learn to solder more competently on their own using chainmaking to develop their fine soldering skills. They may create a simple stone setting or ring alongside this challenge project to hone their skills. Their silver project could be a pendant on a handmade chain, a charm bracelet, or a more complex bezel setting.
Level 3 and above students are encouraged to work on their design skills and try new and challenging techniques. They should prepare to have one or two simple, self-directed projects to work on in class.
Please note that this class fee does not include materials. All metals and stones, as well as quality findings and chains, are available for purchase each week in the studio. Students are encouraged to keep their silver scrap and find ways to use it in future projects. If you need to arrange an alternative payment plan, please contact us.
