Price: £290.00
Dates:
2-Day Course with Jenny Macdonald.
22 - 23 March 2025, 10 am – 4 pm.
Please read the Terms & Conditions before booking the course.
What to bring
There will be copper sheets and Cubic Zirconia stones available in the workshop as well as the specialist tools required for you to learn and practice skills.
If you bring your own pieces in which you wish to set stones this will help the tutor to advise you towards achieving your own goals. However, the necessary skills require dedicated practice over time so the tutor will be aiming to maximize your learning with exercises and set tasks rather than support with individual projects.
Bringing your own jewellery or materials is entirely optional. If you’d like to but are not sure what to choose, here is a list:
· Plain silver rings that are at least 3mm thick/wide/deep.
· Cast silver rings which are at least 3mm thick in the area you wish to add a stone.
· A range of silver tube sizes or plain silver sheets that is 1.5mm – 2mm thick.
· Facetted stones between 2mm and 5mm scoring 8-9 on Moh’s scale. Cubic Zirconias are ideal.
Some students may find it helpful to use magnifying headbands during the class, depending on how good your eyesight is. We will have some available in the studio, but if you have your own please bring it with you, if you can.
