Ready to take your metal smithing skills to the next level? Our evening class is designed for those who have some jewellery-making experience and are eager to expand their capabilities by incorporating wonky stones or sea glass into their designs. This class focuses on the intricate setting techniques that will allow you to integrate these unique elements into stunning silver pendants and more.

Explore the limitless possibilities of jewellery design by learning how to handle and set naturally shaped stones and sea glass. Your creations will stand out with their distinctive charm and bespoke elegance.
 
What You Will Learn:
 
  • Advanced Setting Techniques: Master two specialised methods for setting uneven stones or sea glass, turning challenging materials into focal points of your designs.
  • Preparation of Stones: Learn how to handle and prepare irregular stones to make them easier to set in your jewellery pieces.
  • Expand Your Design Skills:Translate your vision into physical masterpieces with advanced design and crafting techniques.
 
Is This Workshop for You?
 
If you have some background in jewellery making and are looking to delve deeper into the art of setting stones and glass that defy standard cuts, this workshop is perfect for you. It’s tailored for those who appreciate the beauty in imperfection and are ready to challenge their crafting limits.
 
Not only will you leave our workshop with a beautifully set pendant or perhaps a ring or pair of earrings, but you will also take with you a deep appreciation for the unique stories embedded in every piece of natural material you work with.
