Technical skills

During this course you learn the basic skills needed to make jewelry.

 

You learn how to exactly copy a drawing on metal. Then we practice drilling, sawing and filing intensively. To finish the jewel we learn correct sanding. We practice these skills on brass plates, which is exactly like working with silver. After this course you can practice independently at home.

 

Included:

• 2 brass plates, 5 by 5 cm, 1 mm thickness
• 1 drill
• 6 sawblades
• use of the studio materials
• instruction leaflet
• drink and biscuit

 

To bring yourself:

• pencil
• paper
• an apron if you wish
• big files, when you already have some yourself

Full basic training

A full basic training in jewelry techniques consists of three workshops:

• Technical skills (level 1)
• Soldering with silver wire (level 1)
• Soldering with plate and wire (level 2)

These three workshops offer everything you need to continue your practice at home. If you mastered these techniques well, you can subscribe for all level 2 workshops in the future.

 

If you follow these three workshops in the same year, you get a reduced fee: 450 € instead of 515 €. You must simultaneously register for the three workshops. The order of the first 2 workshops can be changed, soldering with sheet and wire has to be the last workshop.

 

You register for the three workshops separately and mention 'full basic training' each time. You transfer the fee of 450 € in one payment. Do you have any more questions, please feel free to send an email to lotte.de.mey@gmail.com
