A Beginner is someone with no experience or limited experience. This class is for adults over the age of 18 years and is an extra-curricular course.
COURSE OUTLINE This exciting jewellery course will introduce you to the hands on world of jewellery manufacturing. Beginners will be taught the basics of making a piece in silver from beginning to end. You will learn to smelt your metal, shape and bend the metal, solder, file, sand and polish.
Beginner's make a ring to acquire exceptional foundational skills. Beginners can make a pendant for a follow up course or a bangle or more creative rings. Many students do courses at our well equipped studios to make their own unique bespoke jewellery.
The fee includes the use of the School’s facilities and tools, but not consumable materials and silver. A starter tool kit is available from the Lecturer at R400.00. Please bring cash to pay the lecturer directly.
This course excludes working in gold, setting stones and casting.
