Who are our classes suitable for?
Our 2-week anticlastic raising course is suitable for complete beginners or those who have made jewellery previously and are looking to enhance their skills. The course is a great way to see if you enjoy making jewellery and try your hand at hammer forming sheet metal to create curvy organic pieces.
Over the 2 weeks we introduce you to the workshop, tools, equipment and cover health and safety. You will learn a range of traditional jewellery and silversmithing techniques including heating, hammer forming, texturing, embossing, filing, polishing and finishing.
What will you make?
Initially you will experiment with aluminium to produce a range of samples and test pieces. You will then work with copper to make either a bangle or a pendant and earrings. You will be shown several ways to finish the copper to create a contrast in the curves.
