February 2011: Silver Jewellery Workshop

June 07, 2012

On Saturday 19th February Georgina Franklin and I hosted a silver jewellery making workshop. We had a very good day, which began by giving new students a demonstration of various techniques and skills that they could use. Next, after coming up with their designs and a little experimentation, students began working in silver. Kate, who is now quite skilled at the bench, worked with an emerald and 18k gold to make a ring.

 


Natalie began by annealing a piece of silver strip to make a setting.
