CLASS DESCRIPTION

Metalwork for Beginners Stage 1 is one of the most comprehensive silver and metalwork courses available in Sydney, blending practical hands on learning and in depth instruction delivered by practising industry professionals.

Students will begin their metalwork journey using copper to make a saw-pierced pendant, move on to beautiful sterling silver to create a finger ring, then a selection of pieces of your own choice using your newly acquired jewellery metalwork skills.

With time to focus and hone your skills, this class, open to all levels, is the perfect starting point to get creative and make some fabulous wearables of your own design.

At the end of this course students will be competent in soldering, having practised many different solder joints over a series of projects in brass, copper and sterling silver.

Gain the skills in metalwork jewellery making and be confident to move on to any of our various metalwork courses offered at Sydney Jewellery School.
