Learn to make silver earrings using soldering and stone setting techniques - Beginners welcome

  • Naomi Brookes Designs @ Sidmouth Craft Hub 38 Mill Street Sidmouth, EX10 8DF United Kingdom (map)

Silver Jewellery Full Day Earrings Class – this is a wonderful class to join if you are interested in designing and making your very own silver jewellery.

Today we will be focusing on earring making as a way to learn soldering, stone setting (non-precious), simple ear wires and attaching them and stud backs.

We will be using silver clay to create our pieces of art, learning the skills needed to turn it into something beautiful.

Our tutor, Naomi Brooks is a patient and encouraging tutor, and a talented silver jewellery maker. You will not leave this class disappointed, that’s for sure!  You will go home with several pairs of earrings that YOU have made.

No previous experience is necessary.  All materials, tuition and refreshments are provided, but please bring your own lunch.

If you prefer a hot meal at lunchtime, the Swan Inn is just across the road, and there are plenty of other eateries nearby.

Minimum Class size: 3 / Maximum Class size: 6

To learn more about Metal Clay watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QCYHvLfNKw). 

This is suitable for beginners  although some experience of using metal clay may be preferable. I'll provide plenty of inspiration and examples to help you design and make your pieces. All you need to bring is curiosity and a desire to take a few hours for yourself making something beautiful!

We will have plenty of time for questions and experimentation and of course lots of tea and coffee on hand to keep us fully fuelled in our making. There will be a lunch break during the day.
