The workshop is tailored for both beginners and intermediate jewellery-makers as well as those eager to explore the creative potential of working with metal sheets.
Under the expert guidance of seasoned trainers, Valentine McLean and Donna-Gay Uter, attendees will benefit from their extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in the art of jewellery-making.
Participants will not only learn how to seamlessly integrate metal and wood in their designs but will also gain foundational skills in working with sterling silver.
The workshop will also feature live demonstrations of essential techniques, including metal melting, hammering, and milling, ensuring that attendees leave with a comprehensive understanding of the craft.
