Autumn 2018
Welcome to our Autumn term Programme. The weekend workshops and evening classes are a very important part of the PMW’s educational outreach work. They give an opportunity to any person bursting with a desire to become a jeweller or simply to be more creative, learn highly specialised techniques and approaches in a relatively short and concentrated time frame.
We are proud of the workshops tradition of providing training and enjoyment to the local community dating back over 10 years. We hope that you will find a course from those listed which inspires you to participate. We look forward to seeing you soon.
To be kept up to date of all courses and happenings please sign up to our mailing list below.
Monday 22nd October- 19th November
6pm-8pm
For learners who haven't worked with metal for jewellery before, the 5 weeks will concentrate on the necessary techniques required to then undertake your own projects. You will learn, saw piercing, filling, drilling, hot and cold connections, texturing, forming and polishing. After this (and for intermediates at the start) you will be encouraged to bring in your own ideas to discuss with the tutor and develop your own work. There will also be an option to learn some more advanced techniques such as stone setting, etching and casting.
