On this one-day course with silversmith, Beccy Gillatt, you will use a different range of items to experiment with casting. From pasta to lentils and water, test them all out to develop interesting forms that can be created into pendants, earrings or charms. Silver is in addition to the course fee. Please do bring your own if you would like. Old silver jewellery and silver off-cuts can also be used so a great way to recycle.

Additional information

What you need to bring:

• An apron (or old clothes)

• Notepad (blank page) or sketchbook

• Pen and pencil

What to wear

Please make sure that you have a hairband to tie your hair back and do not wear floaty skirts, really loose fitting clothes, scarves or open toe shoes, as we will be in a workshop environment. We will use torches and some acids, which can damage clothes so an apron or pinny is recommended as well as remembering not to wear your favourite jeans!

If you have a design in mind

If you already have a design in mind please contact Beccy to discuss the viability and what you might need to purchase to make it. Afterwards, Beccy would be grateful if you could supply two images of your choice, landscape and portrait, if possible, for use in marketing (website and Facebook)
