Iwona Finishes her Flower Earrings

These lovely earrings are silver and enamelled copper with 3 flowers hanging in a drop cluster


Stone Setting on Thursday


The first stone setting today is a ring Marianne has been working on for a while. She fabricated the piece from 3 seperate silver rings all made to exact proportions and soldered together. The turquoise stone is bezel set on bearer wire. Her first ever stone setting!

July Saturday Class

Another lovely group of students in the workshop today. We made a selection of rings, earrings and pendants.
Below is Alisons silver wire with a stamped texture and the finished ring set.


Sarah made these lovely shield shape earrings and a textured silver ring.

Jo created this punched, drilled and granule decorated silver ring, and she has only ever been to 1 weekend before! She also managed to get these sparkling silver disc earrings cut and started a silver and copper heart pendant too.

Alison also got to squeeze a pair of earrings into the class too!
