Earring and Pendant Making Weekend Course
Our course is open to complete beginners and those who have already done an introductory course or another short jewellery making course. You will make a pendant or necklace on Saturday with the option to add in a bezel set cabochon stone.
On Sunday, you will make a pair of earrings, including the findings for them, while also experimenting with the ancient Korean technique ‘Keum Boo’, which is adding 24K Gold Leaf to your silver earrings. Learning how to dome your metal is also an option.
We want this to be a creative course for you, so we will help you design your earrings and pendant. There will be some guidelines for them, based on your level of experience and also so that they can be finished on time!
