Product Description

The relaxed atmosphere of your jewellery making workshop is set as you descend the driveway to the workshop location. The workshop is surrounded by bush on the edge of the National Park, teetering over the Valley of the Waters.

Your morning begins with an introduction from your tutor, Sondi, about her background and work, followed by a studio orientation. The rest of the morning will be spent learning basic skills such as sawing, filing, hammering and soldering. You will have immediate hands-on experience, with Sondi providing various demonstrations and imparting technical knowledge.

A light lunch is then provided for you to enjoy in the stunning bushland surroundings.

After lunch it is time to discuss what piece you would like to make. A ring tends to provide the most comprehensive use of skills that can be accomplished in one day, as well as providing a high degree of satisfaction. An alternative to this is generally earrings or a pendant.

After your silver piece is cut out and the basis of your structure made, the time will come to adorn it to suit your own style.

It is recommended that you bring some of your own familiar and well loved pieces as a springboard for inspiration and referral for technical details. There are also many books on hand for reference.

You will leave the workshop with a finished piece and will never look at jewellery in the same way again!
