The focus will be on basic metalworking skills through to the construction of jewellery such as rings and bangles.

You will learn how to cut and form metal, how to safely use a soldering torch, how to emboss designs into metal using a rolling mill, and how to use tools to texture metal, amongst other things. Silver is the main metal used but it is possible to use any metal you wish to.

Please note: please bring $40 cash on the first night to receive a starter kit (silver, solder, saw blades and sandpaper).
