Description
Intermediate Aluminium Jewellery
Sat 7 & Sun 8 March 2026
Level: Intermediate/ advanced. Participants should have completed a Beginners’ Aluminium workshop at CSSJ or elsewhere beforehand.
Join us for a two-day Intermediate Aluminium Jewellery workshop and explore how to colour, form, and join anodised aluminium to create vibrant, lightweight pieces. Across the course, you will discover a wide range of new techniques, including stamping, image transfer, dip dyeing, forming, and an exciting sublimation printing method for transferring detailed imagery onto aluminium.
You will also learn essential cold-connection skills such as riveting and tab setting, enabling you to assemble your colourful components into finished, wearable jewellery.
Day 1 focuses on developing a variety of decorative colouring effects through guided sample-making. You will be encouraged to experiment and investigate the material’s potential before progressing to completed pieces on Day 2.
