Description
Sea Glass Pendant & Earrings
Sat 24 & Sun 25 Feb
Join us for a weekend jewellery workshop for beginners and use silver and foraged beach treasures to create a stunning sea glass pendant & earrings set. If you love the thrill of collecting sea glass on the beach, and you’ve got a collection of beach finds that you’d like to make into precious keepsakes then this is the perfect course for you! You don’t need any previous experience to come along and start making silver jewellery using found objects. And if you don’t have your own collection of sea glass, worry not, we have a huge selection to choose from!
We’ll start at the very beginning, working our way through basic jewellery techniques such as sawing, drilling, filing and soldering. Your expert tutor will give step by step demonstrations and be on hand to guide you through each process. We’ll explore textures and patterns, and create a base that fits your selected piece of glass, and frame it using a simple but effective bezel setting, sometimes known as a rub-over setting. We’ll teach you how to safely drill your sea glass to add jump rings or earring fixtures too. You’ll leave at the end of the day with your completed sea glass pendant and earrings set. If you’re hooked after your day of making, we have starter tool kits available to buy in store that will get you all set up with your home jewellery studio. If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration in advance of your class why not check out our Pinterest Boards for a bit of inspiration to get you started?
