Jewellery-making in 4 Weeks, Mixed levels, Sunday Mornings - Ōtaki
Workspace Ōtaki, Ōtaki, Kapiti Coast
SUN 23 NOV 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.
This Sunday morning block is a short course on jewellery-making. It starts on Sunday 23 November and runs for 4 weeks till Sunday 14 December, 10am-1pm. Beginners will practice the basic techniques in copper or brass and then move on to working in silver. An excellent first project for beginners in this class is to create a simple textured ring band - but once you have the basics down, it is fun to create earrings, pendants or other simple items. Learning to cut, heat, form and texture metal - to solder using a jeweller's torch and silver solder, and finally to polish your work up to a beautiful finish: these classes are super satisfying. These blocks are also a nice way for existing students or more advanced makers to work on more challenging projects and join friendly classes in our well-equipped studio! All materials you need can be purchased in class - beginners should expect to use around $30 - $40 of metals in this block. This block is great for teens and kids over 12 or so. NOTE: Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver. Our booking system asks for full payment to be made via credit card, Afterpay or PayPal on booking. If you do not have access to these payment methods or need to pay your course fee over time please email us to arrange this ;)
