Twist and Braid Silver - Jewellery Making Workshop

One day jewellery course focused on twists and braids using silver wire, in Camden, London.



7 hours Class size 1 to 3 guests       £179

This fun in-person jewellery making course is held in Camden Town, London NW1. You'll get to learn a new skill while having fun and leave with your bespoke creations.
Ideal for a craftsperson/jeweller already working with metals, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to learn different ways to create decorative wire twists and braids, great for creating bangles, chain links, rings, and more. Spend a day getting creative and expanding your range of craft skills.
This course (and all my courses) is designed for adults. I do not currently offer classes for children and teenagers.
During the day, you will learn how to work with wire - how to create a range of different patterns of twists and braids using the wire, then how to transform your braids into finished jewellery, joining with soldering, adding (and possibly making) end caps and beautifully finishing the jewellery ready to wear.
Learn how to prepare and braid silver and copper wires in different ways and experiment with ways to transform a braided section into jewellery. Create your choice of silver ring or use the decorative braided wire however else you choose.
This course is a full day from 10am to 5pm, in Camden, London NW1, on your selected date.
With a small group size of just 3 students, your experienced instructor will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way and you get plenty of individual attention.
All the materials you need will be provided, so simply come along and enjoy the creativity. As you experiment with twists and patterns, you'll start to see more and more potential for working them into your designs. By the end of the class, you'll have a series of test pieces in copper, and if you choose to - a silver ring or other jewel ready to wear.
The workshop space is down stairs, so unfortunately, it is difficult to access for anyone with mobility problems - apologies for any inconvenience.
Braiding and twisting wire is also quite tough work on the hands.
