Jewellery Courses with Lydia Foster

I offer a one day silver jewellery workshop which is suitable for the complete beginner to the more expert maker.

The workshop is a relaxed, informal, fun day with each person designing and making their own piece of jewellery to take away.

A number of techniques are used such as piercing, annealing, making marks on metal using hammers and punches, reticulation and forming. These techniques will be taught during the day with plenty of time for practicing.

Materials included*
5g of silver – this is enough to make a small pendant or ring.  Bigger or heavier pieces, such as a bangle or brooch will be subject to a charge for extra silver at market rates.
Unfortunately, this is due to the skyrocketing of silver prices in the last year (+145%)

I also have Gift Vouchers available for purchase. Please contact me for more details.
