Eco Metal – Recycling Silver’ Masterclass
Learn how to reuse and recycle old jewellery and precious metals in this insightful and fun workshop.
Level: Intermediate
As increasingly more makers and designers are looking for ways to make their practice more sustainable and less impactful to the environment, CSSJ will host an ‘Eco Metal’ workshop dedicated to learning skills and methods needed to recycle gold, silver and other metals. With very little equipment, it is possible to melt down pieces of precious metal and turn them into fabulous cast pieces of jewellery within a home studio environment! This workshop will focus on charcoal ingots and granulation with students leaving the workshop with a unique cast ring. Other ingot mould processes will also be explored so that makers can learn how to fabricate wire and sheet for future use. Our tutors will provide expert guidance on what metals can be successfully recycled and will discuss impurities, metal melting equipment and techniques used to get the most out of your old or scrap metal pieces.
