A fun 1 day course. Learn about basic metalwork for jewellery making and create a pet's collar for your pet. Cut out a shape in copper or brass and personalise it with your pet’s name or owner's contact details. (There will be a material change of £2 in addition to the course fee)
This is a practical class and you will learn to make a piece of jewellery to develop your skills. You will learn to work confidently with metals and other materials. You will start with a series of basic, practical projects designed to encourage familiarity with the tools, materials and processes most frequently used in the workshop. You will learn through group demonstrations and individual, one-to-one help and guidance, with technical and critical advice depending on your needs. The tutor will give demonstrations, presentations and lead group discussions around technical and creative subjects. You will work at your own pace, negotiating individual learning goals with your tutor, and record and assess these on Learning Statements.
The course is suitable for complete beginners who have no previous experience of jewellery making or metalwork, and intermediate level learners who want to gain further confidence in jewellery making techniques.
The jewellery studio is on the 3rd floor of the main building, there is lift access.
Students may be expected to buy materials for their projects (e.g. silver, saw blades). A comprehensive list of these and suppliers will be provided during the first lesson. A note book for technical notes and design ideas is strongly recommended. New students with previous experience should bring an example of their work. The college provides all of the tools necessary to take part in the course and basic materials in reasonable quantities, such as base metals, paper, acrylic etc.
