Jewellery - Silver Pendant
In this workshop you will learn how to make a silver textured pendant. You will learn how to anneal (soften) silver and copper, cut (pierce), file, form and solder your silver to make your piece. The workshop will cover a variety of texturing, reticulation and stamping techniques.

You will be given a mixture of copper sheet and wire, as well as a 2cm by 2cm square of silver (1mm thick) and some silver wire. You will also be provided with an 18-inch silver plated necklace chain. Extra silver may be available to purchase on the day along with sterling silver chains if required.

Your tutor will talk through the tools used within the workshop and demonstrate all the steps and techniques. All tools, gas, solder and flux are provided within your materials money, unless any extra is wanted.

You will also develop an understanding of the basic science behind manipulating metals and the processes used to clean and polish copper and silver. By the end of the workshop, you will come away with a designed pendant, on a hook or bail, with a silver plated (provided) chain. You will also be given information on how to set up a jewellery making space within your home and a basic tools list for those who wish to continue jewellery making at home and within a budget.
