Piercing and Filing Skills Workshop - suitable for those wishing to further develop their jewellery skills
Maximum 1 person per session. Must have basic experience already. If you are a complete beginner you will need to attend one of the jewellery making sessions first.
Duration 2 hours
These sessions are perfect for those who have a bit of silversmithing and jewellery experience and are ready to dedicate time to the foundations. We will spend dedicated one on one time focussing on your needs, and ensuring you have a greater understanding of the tools and processes to help you in your future work.
Piercing and filing is are regularly used to create designs, and learning how to finish these off to a high standard can elevate your work from handmade to well made. During this session we will work on how to get the most out of piercing, breaking the least amount of saw blades, including working on intricate designs, as well as filing methods to get each edge and surface as smooth as possible – including how best to get into all those nooks and crannies.
I will demonstrate each process then be on hand while you have a go. We will cover piercing and filing in depth and you will also be able to ask any questions you have relating to silversmithing and I can give you tips and advice across the board.
Feel free to bring a list of questions so we can make sure I cover everything you would like to know, giving you the benefit of my many years of experience and professional training.
