Considered surface finishes and contrasts in colour in your jewellery designs are the themes of the Spring Intensive on the October long weekend. You will learn how to bring your jewellery to life by incorporating contrasting materials and applying thoroughly considered finishes.

Choose your look and select from processes such as heat anodised titanium, coloured gemstone beads and pearls along with silver, copper and brass which can be incorporated into your designs.
