Description
Aluminium Jewellery for Beginners
Level: Beginners
In this lively Aluminium Jewellery workshop, you will learn how to create a variety of stunning effects for contemporary jewellery using aluminium, a fascinating and lightweight material that will keep its bright colours over time. We’ll explore the endless possibilities of pattern and colour using stamping, dip dyeing and forming techniques. Students will use pre-anodised sheets to create lots of colourful samples ready to turn into a cuff and, if time allows, a pair of earrings or a pendant.
Your Tutor: Trisha Smith started her jewellery journey here with CSSJ as a student 10+ years ago when the school was first founded and has been a regular fixture ever since. Through a combination of weekly classes and masterclasses, Trisha has built both her technical skills and her distinctive voice in her jewellery collections as White Loch Jewellery. Trisha has travelled to London to train with the well-known aluminium jewellery designer Lindsey Mann and is now CSSJ’s expert in all things bright and light!
