Our Beginner Jewellery Course – 2 Day Surface Texture is a hands-on silver jewellery course designed for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of creating surface textures on silver. We explore a variety of techniques such as etching, rolling and hammering. All tools are provided, and no prior experience is needed – just your creativity and curiosity.
On completion of this course you should have a solid foundation in jewellery making techniques and learn how to use all the necessary tools to enable you to create beautiful jewellery pieces from home. Plus, you’ll leave the course with two professionally finished pieces.
