On this one-day course with silversmith, Beccy Gillatt, you will learn how cast in silver with stones in place to create pendants, rings or earrings. You will be guided through the whole process from setting up a delft clay mould, ensuring the stones stay in place and also the techniques to create your idea into a wearable piece of jewellery.

One gemstone and five CZs are included in the course fee. Silver is extra on top of the course fee (silver off-cuts and old jewellery can be used and you are also welcome to bring your own casting grain).

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)
