Content
What will you learn during these 3 evenings?
You will learn the basics of soldering.
We apply this technique to your own designs.
Finally, you will finish your jewellery.
You must have already attended the jewellery workshop 'Basic techniques' so that you can saw, file, sand, drill, hammer.
We will work with copper and brass. These are relatively inexpensive metals, but they can still be perfectly finished into a wearable piece of jewellery.
You will be guided through the creative process of designing your own jewellery. Depending on the complexity of your design, you go home with 1 to 2 jewels.
