SILVER JEWELLERY BEGINNERS WORKSHOP

Just love the St George & Sutherland Community College classes being offered at the moment, and this one is no exception.
Learn the basics of metal work jewellery making from an industry professional in the one day hands-on workshop. Traditional jewellery making skills such as saw-piercing, drilling, filing, soldering and polishing will be covered while making a pendant and a textured sterling silver ring.
$50 payable to the tutor to cover the costs of materials.

Course Outline:
Students will start by learning how to use a jeweller's saw frame and practice saw-piercing and make a saw-pierced pendant from copper or brass which they will hand polish. They will then texture a sheet of sterling silver using hammers and punches and make this into a finger ring by soldering the ends together.

Course Outcome:
By the end of this 1 day workshop students will have:
1. Made a pendant from sheet metal using the methods of saw-piercing, drilling, filing, sanding and polishing
2. Made a finger ring fro sheet sterling silver using the methods above plus annealing and soldering using a gas torch and explored a variety of texturing methods.
