Spring Jewellery Making Workshops & Courses!

Hello!

I have some jewellery making workshops and courses coming up at Falmouth Adult Education Centre, based on Tregenver Road!  The cost includes tuition, project sheets and materials.  Please bring your own lunch, but I will be bringing along tea, coffee etc!

Jewel Enamels for Jewellery Workshop

Saturday 21 April 2018 10am – 3.30pm – Cost of £35 Course Code:  F709153

Jewel Enamels are special ultra-thick embossing powders which are mainly used in the card-making industry – but they are excellent for making jewellery too! We’ll discover how to melt the jewel enamels and pour into moulds, use stamps to imprint a design and layer different colours onto MDF pendants!

Jewel Enamels and Mixed Media 5 week course Starts Wednesday 6th June 6pm – 8pm

Course Code: F709156 Cost £62

This fun Mixed Media Jewellery course will show you some different ways to create your own jewellery! Jewel Enamels are special ultra thick embossing powders which are mainly used in the card-making industry – but they are excellent for making jewellery too! We’ll discover how to melt the jewel enamels and pour into moulds, use stamps to imprint a design and layer different colours onto MDF pendants! We will also learn how to create your own designs and shapes in Shrink Plastic for using in jewellery, plus dabble in some paper jewellery using image transfer techniques and using decorative rice paper and decoupage tricks.

I’m still working out what kinds of jewellery we’ll be learning, but it will definitely be something similar to the above images.  Any questions, please drop me an email or comment below.  To book please follow the links on each title of the workshops.
