Pewter Jewellery Workshop
Workshop Leader: Ella McIntosh
Various Saturdays
Join Ella on a 3 hour pewter jewellery making using rolling mill technique class. Create your own design using pattern, texture &traditional jewellery making skills.
During this workshop Ella will guide you through the process of adding texture and pattern to sheet pewter, a lead free metal before using hammers, formers, letter punches, piercing saws, soldering and polishing techniques to finish your jewellery .
We will use textures and foraged dried leaves or petals (green fresh leaves don’t work) to print on the pewter using a traditional metalwork tool called a rolling mill.
Ella will have a large selection for you to choose from but please do feel free to bring along interesting textures to try – items less than 5mm thick such as lace, paper stencils or dried leaves work well.
We will then use hammers and piercing tools to shape your jewellery (approx 2-3 made per workshop) before polishing so you can proudly wear them home. A fun workshop to create your own unique piece of jewellery.
Suitable for beginners or those with previous silver or jewellery experience.
