• 2 to 3 hour workshop session with 2 University Qualified instructors

• Instructor will show the process of preparing the cuttlebone

• Cuttlebone for students will be made ready beforehand to begin carving straight away

• Use special scrapers to carve out a design/shape of your own choice in the cuttlebone

• Watch the instructor melt silver and pour it into the cuttlebone

• Open up the cuttlebone to see your creation

• Leave your piece with the instructors so they can solder on a bail for a chain to go through and polish it. Or if there is time left over we will get you to begin the filing and sanding up process on your own pieces.

• Pick up the finished pendant/s later that day/or next day (or they can be sent by post to a designated address)

• PLEASE NOTE  Silver is an extra cost of approximately $20 for each pendant made (cost depends on silver price at the time of workshop)

​

Although you will only be in the studio for 2 to 3 hours, the two tutors will need to cut off the sprues, file and sand areas, solder on a bail, and polish each one  so you can have your finished item later that day or the next day.

1. IT’S MEDITATIVE

The secret to a happy, healthy life is being creative. That applies to jewellery making, too! Creating is meditative, automatically reducing stress.

2. HANDMADE JEWELLERY = AWESOME GIFTS

Who doesn’t love receiving handmade gifts? Depending on what you make, you can whip up a gorgeous gift in no time.

3. NO MORE SPENDING MONEY ON STORE-BOUGHT JEWELLERY

If you make your own jewellery, you can recreate some of your favourite designer pieces to fit your budget. Even if you use the same metals and gems that the designer piece uses, you’ll still save a lot of money!

4. YOU CAN BE UNIQUE!

Create unique projects that stand apart from the crowd. You can imagine your perfect piece of jewellery and recreate that. No one else in the world will own the same piece of jewellery!
