Weekend Workshops

Workshop Programme:

 Open to students of all levels from beginners to advanced, our aim is to teach a variety of skills involved in producing metal jewellery. We mainly work in copper and silver, but encourage the use of a variety of materials such as wood, plastics and found objects.
Each weekend workshop is structured around the students designs and what they wish to get out of the two days. Beginners are introduced to metalwork on the Saturday morning with a brooch project (using basic skills such as the jewellers saw and soldering), then we work around individual designs to produce at least one finished piece of jewellery by the end of the workshop. All materials and tools are provided (we do charge for the use of silver however, which generally amounts to €30 per student, depending on what you make). We advise each student to bring along a notebook and an apron, or else wear your least fancy clothes!

Each weekend workshop takes place Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm.
The cost per student is €120.
