Jewellery-making in 4 weeks: Sunday Mornings - Christchurch

This great 4-week Sunday morning block of classes starts on 12 February and runs until 5 March.

Our popular classes are the best way for beginners to get into jewellery making or for advanced students to improve their skills! These are a lively, warm and friendly way to learn to create beautiful jewellery for yourself or for others.

Beginners start with basic ring making in copper or brass, students will learn measuring, texturing, shaping, cutting and soldering.

Once your first rings are completed you can move to working in silver and produce another ring with more interesting design elements, or earrings or pendants if you prefer.

Level 2 students start to look at chain making - the very best way to advance your soldering skills. They can create a pendant on a handmade chain, or follow their design dreams!

More advanced students are able to work on projects suited to their interests and skills. Our tutors will encourage advanced students to try new and challenging skills, and work on their design process.

Included in the class fee are copper and brass for practising on, up to 6 grams of sterling silver and all consumables such as sandpaper, solder and chemicals.

Extra metals, materials and chains are available for purchase in the studio.
