I had the opportunity to do the 3-day intensive beginners workshop. I learnt so many skills during this time with our teacher Dani who was excellent at explaining, demonstrating and supporting our jewellery-making journey. She is a very skilled artist. I would highly recommend this course.
5 stars - Nicola OABOUT THE COURSE
Over three days of the Easter long weekend, students learn to make a textured silver ring band, followed by a second project of their own design. Processes focusing on forming and texturing such as doming and stamping will be learned to aid you in your inspiration.
This course aims to provide students with the confidence and skills to work on and progress their individual projects while gaining a greater understanding of jewellery techniques and design.
Designed for Beginners, this course is structured to allow students to progress through the foundation stages of jewellery making and incorporate these new skills into jewellery of their own design.
Your tutor will assist with design development, technical issues and problem-solving in creating your first handmade jewellery over the course duration.
This Easter hop into SquarePeg and do more than eat chocolate! 🐰
