You will be welcomed by Sarah or Violeta at 10 am and served tea or coffee and by 5 pm you will have made your pendant!
Using traditional silversmithing techniques and tools you will learn how to cut out your silver with a jewellers’ saw. You will file it to the perfect shape. Then using a blowtorch, you will learn the annealing technique which is used to soften the metal so that it can be shaped using jewellers’ hammers. The challenging part is the soldering of the pendant, you will be given step-by-step guidance. You will be experimenting creating a range of samples before selecting your favourite one that you will use on to your silver pendant. Next is the cleaning and refining stage, which can be extremely satisfying if you are a perfectionist! Silver chains can be purchased additionally.
Take a look at our Pinterest Board to see examples of pendants that could be made during the workshop.
