Make a Spinner Ring
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.

Make a Scene
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.

Silver Clay Leaves
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.

Silver Clay - Adding Colour
During this afternoon workshop we will make a solid silver piece with
some colour added to it. We will design and make a simple silver pendant
or pair of earrings from Art clay silver and then add UV gel nail polish
resin to the piece to bring a splash of colour to the design.
You will
take away a completed unique piece of jewellery for yourself or as a
gift for someone else.
Techniques learnt include:
> Rolling the clay.
> Adding texture and cutting out.
> Firing the clay.
> Adding walls to hold the colour or using stamps and moulds to create the
shapes.
> Basic polishing.
> Adding the colour.
> Curing the colour.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those who already
have experience with silver clay and want to learn a new technique.
All materials to make a pendant or pair of earrings are included in the
workshop fee. Silver chains or other fittings are extra, from £6,

Make a Kinetic Mobile
Spend a day making a small suspended or table mounted kinetic mobile
using base metals and found materials. Think Alexander Calder! You will

visual design. Bring along found objects that you might like to use -
charms, sea glass, paper shapes and cardboard to join the metal shapes
you make on the day.
This workshop is suitable for people of all skill levels, from complete
beginners to those with metal-smithing experience.
Materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop

Make a Bangle
Make a beautiful and unusual solid metal bangle in this one day
workshop. Experiment with the fascinating technique of anti-clastic
raising to create undulating and twisting forms - think Pringle! You
will use hammers and wavy stakes to manipulate sheet metal on two planes
simultaneously to create your unique 3D bangle in either copper or
silver.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who
want to improve their metal-smithing skills.
All tools and enough copper to make a bangle are included in the
workshop fee, as well as lunch and light refreshments. If you would like
to make a silver bangle, you will need to pay an extra £70 and let us
know at least one week before in order for the tutor to order the
supplies for you.

Silver Clay Jewellery with Stones
Learn how to make a beautiful piece of silver clay jewellery with stone
settings. Once fired this will turn into a solid silver pendant or
brooch.
Design your own piece, then learn how to roll out and texture the clay,
how to cut shapes and remove the excess. Learn how to set colourful
stones in three different ways and choose which ones you will use to
enhance your piece. Learn how to shape the clay to add detail and either
a bail or a brooch pin on the back. Learn how to fire the piece, then
burnish and add a basic polish to it. If there’s time you will also
learn how to add patina.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with
silver clay experience.
A light lunch and refreshments and all materials to make one pendant or
brooch set with stones are included in the workshop fee. Additional
fittings and chains are available for a small extra charge, starting
from £6, payable to the tutor on the day.
