Workshops autumn 2023
Short courses
MONDAY 16 - WEDNESDAY 18 OCTOBER 3-DAY SHORT COURSE: GRANULATION: LEARN/PRACTISE THIS ANCIENT SKILL
16/17/18 October 2023 Materials included £320. You are welcome to bring your own metals, but further materials can be purchased from the tutor during the course. Granulation is an ancient decorative art which was practised by the Etruscans, lost for centuries, and then rediscovered. This short course is ideally for those who have previously attended a jewellery course and would now like to extend their skills to include granulation. The course is also suitable for beginners, as it assumes no previous experience. Please note that no solder is involved. This course will teach the art of fusing tiny silver or gold granules, just as it was done thousands of years ago.
