About Beginners Summer School
Level: Absolute Beginners
Fri 18th - Sun 20th July
Our 3-day Beginner’s Summer School is a fantastic introduction to the world of silver jewellery making. This intensive short course is a great introduction to a range of traditional techniques and tools used to make silver jewellery. We’ll begin working in copper as we practise essential techniques such as sawing, drilling, texturing, forming and soldering. Demonstrations by our expert tutors will be followed up with plenty of opportunities to practise the techniques at your own pace. We have a vast selection of tools, ranging from small hand tools to heavy-duty equipment, that you will learn to use creatively and safely throughout your long week-end here.
Once we have mastered some new skills in copper we can move on to think about designing a piece of jewellery to make in silver. You can browse our library of books and samples for inspiration, and our tutors are on hand to help you come up with creative but achievable ideas. Depending on the complexity of your designs, you may even have enough time to create a small collection of jewellery!
The summer school is held over three consecutive days in our light, spacious studio overlooking the River Allan. By the end of the course, you will leave not only with some finished jewellery but also the skills and confidence you need to carry on your jewellery journey, should you wish to do so. Our beginner courses build a great foundation for anyone wanting to set up a home studio or move on to take more skill-building workshops with us, however, they are also a great stand-alone experience for those looking for a creative break in a lovely location.
