Make a Silver Bracelet in a Day with the Bishopsland Educational Trust
26 October: explore the insightful process of making a chain bracelet which you will design, make and take home.
- Booking essential
Your experienced tutor will teach you how to transform silver into a beautiful, wearable bracelet. You'll gain knowledge of designing, forming and finishing a chain bracelet using a variety of cold connection methods and hand tools.
The course is suitable for beginners with no prior jewellery making experience, or for those with some knowledge who’d like to refresh and extend their skills.
At the end of the day you will receive a certificate from Bishopsland Educational Trust and the silver bracelet will be yours to keep.
The Tutor for this course is Chamine Ghuss. Chamine has a First Class Honours degree in 3D Design & Crafts from the University of Brighton, as well as a teaching degree from the University of Bedfordshire. She has completed her first year on the Bishopsland post-graduate programme and is currently in her second year as one of two Artists in Residence. She has specialised in metalsmithing, polymers and composites.
You can do this course as a stand alone or book multiple short courses to build up a bank of jewellery and metal smithing skills.
All the tools, materials and teaching needed to produce your ring will be provided. The course takes place on Saturday 26 October, 10am-4pm.
