Spend a day learning how to create a beautiful spinner ring.

First you will make a straight-sided silver band to a size of your choice and a separate ‘spinner’ in brass or copper. Bring the two together using a magical technique that makes the inner ring unfurl and flute to capture the spinner whilst still allowing it to twirl. The completed ring will be ready for you to wear or give as a gift by the end of the day.

This course is suitable for complete beginners or improvers.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials to make one spinner ring are included in the course fee.

Come and learn some copper-smithing techniques and put together some 2D shapes to create your very own unique 3D mixed metal sculpture.

First off you will learn how to texture, stamp and highlight the metal. Next comes the cutting, either using a saw or one of the various shape cutting tools.  After some very basic soldering, letter stamping and assembling you will leave with a gorgeous sculpture which you can be proud of.  We will be working with copper, brass and small amounts of silver, mounting the piece on wood.

This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners and improvers.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

In this morning workshop you will make stunning silver jewellery from a real leaf. Gather your own leaf from the Westhope garden, or bring in one that means something to you for turning into a solid silver replica.

Using the silver clay paste, we will paint layers onto the leaf to build it up, then fire it to turn it into solid silver. The detail of the finished silver leaves is fantastic, retaining all of the character
of the original.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who already have experience with silver clay.

All materials to make one silver piece are included in the workshop fee. Silver chains are available from £6 extra, payable to the tutor on the day.
