Along the way, you’ll learn essential jewellery-making skills, including sizing, forming, forging, sawing, filing, sanding, soldering and polishing, while using a range of specialist hand tools.
No previous experience is needed. All tools, materials (including sterling silver) and expert tuition are included, so you can simply enjoy the experience of creating jewellery from scratch.
Your tutor Machi de Waard is a designer/jeweller who has been making modernist jewellery in silver and gold in her studio in Reading, Berkshire for over 17 years.
