WHAT DOES THE DAY INVOLVE?

This is a brilliant workshop to recycle old silver jewellery you no longer wear, and transform it into something new.

We will demonstrate a range of designs you can produce with your pebble style designs as we begin the course - such as stamped pendants, impression die pendants or pebble earrings. 

This is a really fun opportunity to melt down your old silver jewellery and have a really fun experiment with a variety of tools.

You are welcome to bring along chains or bangles to add your pebble design to. We are happy for you to experiment but will guide you with our timings on the day. 

We will check that the silver your have brought along is silver and hasn't been incorrectly hallmarked. Occasionally, designs can be made from pewter or another non-precious metal, then silver plated and marked as silver 925 when it is not actually sterling silver- this can contaminate your other silver when melted together, so we shall check through our scrap beforehand. 

If you do not have any scrap, no problem - we have casting grain you can purchase on the day!

WE WILL SUPPLY: 

  • Silver sterling jump rings and earring findings for your designs. Chains can be purchased from us at an additional cost. 
  • All tools and consumables are also included.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

No experience required, this course is suitable for all abilities.

CLASS SIZE:

7

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

You will be supplied with some jump rings to use for pendants. This day is experimental meaning you will be shown several techniques and ideas and you can then experiment and make designs which suit you. We have silver you can purchase to make additional designs.

WHAT TO BRING:

  • Please bring along any old silver jewellery you no longer wish to use or scrap from previous courses. If you do not have any, we have silver casting grain you are able to purchase on the day.
  • Please wear closed toe shoes – no sandals or flip flops as you will be working with hot metal and tools.
  • Please bring along any snacks and drinks for the session. We have tea and coffee supplies you are welcome to help yourself to but make sure you bring enough refreshments and supplies to keep you going during the day. We have a fridge, microwave and kettle which you are welcome to use.
