What's on
Spend a day in the studio creating wonderful organic forms from flat sheet metal using hammers.
On this one day course you will receive step-by-step tuition in classes of no more than 2 people in a friendly, relaxed environment. I will introduce to you this creative technique, which is a personal favourite of mine, which you can then incorporate into your own jewellery designs. Fold forming describes the process of folding sheet metal then somehow compressing the fold, usually with a hammer, this folded piece is then sometimes a further worked into by forging, before opening out to reveal the created form. This technique has applications both for jewellery and metalsmithing, including creating silverware or metal sculptures.
I will teach you a range of folds including basic flat line fold, partial line fold, rolled over line fold, forged folds and ruffled leaves. The course is focused on learning fold forming techniques and practicing these by making copper samples, but if you wish, you can also create a finished piece of silver jewellery as part of the course.
This silver jewellery making workshop is held in my cosy studio within the historic Sharpe’s Pottery Museum in Swadlincote in South Derbyshire. (The postcode is DE11 9DG). Find out more and book your place via my website.
Workshop times 10am to 4pm.
