'Jewellery Basics' Six Week Course
Feb
20

'Jewellery Basics' Six Week Course

The all-new ‘Jewellery Basics’ Six Week Course has arrived! This course will take beginners through all the techniques that they need to know to get started in the wonderful world of jewellery making.

The course will follow the structure detailed below:

Week One will introduce you to jewellery tools and basic skills, including using a piercing saw to both cut sheet metal and create something in wax. In Week Two, we will be working with assorted wires, forming the metal and creating joins in order to make a ring. In Week Three, we will be working with a combination of sheet and wire. With the skills learnt so far, you can then start to experiment with your own forms and shapes as you learn how to make a pendant. The focus of this week will be joining methods. Week Four will focus on earrings and ‘finishing’. Polishing and finishing is an incredibly valuable skill to learn. For this part of the course, you will be taught how to sand and refine your work to a high standard using both papers and a polishing machine, with a whole variety of attachments. Week Five will focus on ‘design’; I will introduce a few, new, valuable skills to help explore a smorgasbord of possible ideas and how we can use the different techniques you have learnt over the previous weeks to create something especially for you! The last week, Week Six, will be your chance to bring together all of the skills you have learnt and create your own original piece. For this, you will need to supply your own materials based on your design. I will direct you to trustworthy suppliers and teach you how to order your silver, including how to best plan your pieces to suit your budget. If you prefer, you can revisit unfinished pieces from the previous weeks or even have your wax piece from week one cast and use this last evening to refine and polish it up!

The course begins on Thursday 20th February 2025, and will run for six weeks with the consecutive dates being 27th February, 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th March.

It costs £350pp, and requires a non-refundable deposit in order for you to secure your spot.

Contemporary Festive Earrings

Contemporary Festive Earrings

“As much as I enjoy a pair of garish, tinsel, light-up Christmas earrings, they aren’t an accessory that you can wear all year round. I’ve decided to take a series of subtle festive imagery and create some sophisticated, slightly unusual pieces of jewellery that can be worn especially for this seasonal time, or all year round.” {Intro to Emily’s Festive Earring Description}

The session begins with an insight into Emily’s festive design process. You’ll be introduced to a process that will help you loosen up and design a series of seasonal earrings: starting with a selection of Christmassy and wintry motifs or images that remind you of this time of year, you will be shown a specific process for generating a variety of ideas for contemporary earrings. You will choose from the designs and Emily will support you in recreating those drawings in wire and transforming them into earrings!

Processes covered include designing, piercing, filing, forming, soldering multiple components, tidying up a piece and finishing.

This workshop takes place on Wednesday 11th December between 2-5pm and 6-9pm. Materials (silver, copper and brass wire) will be included; this will allow you to make up to two pairs of earrings, depending on the complexity of your idea. These could be kept for yourself or gifted to a loved one; Emily can supply lovely, little boxes for them! Suitably festive refreshments also provided - make sure to get in touch with any allergies you may have!

This workshop will take place at The Colour Factory in Winchester in a dedicated jewellery space. Whilst a lovely space, it only has the capacity for 5 participants so make sure to be quick if you’d like to take part in this workshop!

Suitable for absolute beginners, folks who want to practise their skills or just have a lovely, chilled creative session!

Embark on a festive adventure with Emily at The Colour Factory and book yourself a place!

This workshop is £75pp.
