You’ll learn some basic metalworking skills, including sawing, filing, soldering and polishing to create your piece. Metal costs are not included in the course price as they vary depending on your designs. Usually students create a silver ring/pendant in this session, and typcially each person spends between £5 and £15. You tutor will make sure to keep you informed before you make a final decision. You can take this class more than once and create different pieces each time, and if you fall in love with the process and want to learn more, we have regular weekly classes where people work at their own level and learn many more skills for more advanced projects.
