Our experienced tutor will show you how to turn silver into a beautiful gift. You’ll learn how to design, shape, and finish your piece using different silversmithing techniques and hand tools. You might make earrings, cufflinks, a pendant, or a keyring. The choice is yours.
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.
Your 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 gift will be provided. The course takes place on Saturday 14th February, 10am-4pm.
