LEVEL: Intermediate/Advanced
Join us for an intriguing two day masterclass in the delicate art of granulation – a delicate, decorative technique where beads and other elements are fused to a backing surface without the use of solder. Instead, they appear to be magically held in place, without any visible attachment. It is the oldest known decorative technique for precious metals with the ancient Italian civilisation, the Etruscans, being considered as world masters.
During the Masterclass Linda Lewin will guide you through the 3-part Granulation process; making granules with charcoal blocks, copper plating, and finally the art of construction in which granules are delicately applied with a paintbrush. The great thing about granulation is it requires very little equipment however it does require skill and developing a good eye for what is happening under the flame. After demonstrations and discussion Linda will guide participants through their own experimentation and final pieces.
We advise that potential participants should only book this Masterclass if they have previous workshop experience. Participants will need to be proficient in all basic jewellery techniques (sawing, filing, forming, soldering) and be comfortable working on a very small scale. Please get in touch with us if you are unsure if this class is for you.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
