Introduction to Silver Jewellery: Silver Bangles

Date: Sun 22 Feb
Adult - Workshop
Times: 10am - 1.30pm

This workshop will give you an introduction to silversmithing and you will make a pair of silver bangles that can be worn together or individually.

You will learn to measure and calculate the amount of metal required to make your bangles, which can then be textured or shaped, using a variety of silversmithing techniques. You will learn to cut, anneal, solder, texture, clean and polish silver to create your own unique bangles.

Silversmithing can be a messy business, so please wear clothes that you will be comfortable in. Aprons will be provided. Please wear closed-toed shoes and ensure that your hair is tied back off your face. There is close work involved in working with silver, so if you use glasses, please don’t forget them!

A cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake are included in the price of this workshop, but don’t forget your water to keep you hydrated.
