Silver Bangle Making Workshop

Who is this course for?

In this workshop you will produce a silver bangle as well as one made from copper or brass. Under guidance of silversmith Kate Hunter-Parker, you will learn the traditional silversmithing processes from measuring and cutting your silver, to annealing, forming, soldering and texturing. You will then clean up and polish your unique bangles.

All materials and tools are provided. If you want a different shape or weight of silver there will be some available, there may be a small additional cost for this.

This is a 3 hour course suitable for all learners but some dexterity would be a benefit.

What does the course cover?

During the class you will learn how to create two bangles; one in silver and one in copper or brass. You will learn to measure and cut silver, and how to anneal and form a bangle. You will then solder your bangles adding a texture if you wish, and alter their shape if required. Lastly you can clean up and polish your unique design.
