2 Day Make a Silver Jewellery Set with the Bishopsland Educational Trust
1-2 March: over two days, you'll design and make a brooch, and your choice of second item - either a pendant, earrings or a bangle.
- Booking essential
Design and make a jewellery set, employing specialist techniques. Everyone on the course will make a brooch, and then item two of the set can be of your choosing – either a pendant, earrings or a bangle.
Our experienced tutor will teach you how to transform silver into a two-piece jewellery set. You will gain knowledge of designing, forming and finishing your items using a variety of silversmithing methods and hand tools.
The course is suitable for beginners with no prior jewellery-making experience, or for those with some knowledge who’d like to refresh and extend their skills.
Your tutor for this course is Chamine Ghuss. Chamine has a First Class Honours degree in 3D Design & Crafts from the University of Brighton, as well as a teaching degree from the University of Bedfordshire. She has completed her first year on the Bishopsland post-graduate programme and is currently in her second year as one of two Artists in Residence. She has specialised in metalsmithing, polymers and composites.
The course are limited to a maximum of 6 attendees, so you will have expert tuition and we can adapt the teaching to suit your level of skill and desired outcome.
You can do this course as a stand alone or book multiple short courses to build up a bank of jewellery and metal smithing skills.
All the tools, materials and teaching needed to produce your set will be provided. This course takes place on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March, 10am-4pm daily at the Bishopsland Educational Trust.
