As soon as we are safely allowed and able to, during the second half of 2020, Firedrake Jewellery is offering the chance of spending a day learning some of the skills required to make pieces of jewellery.
 
A "taster" session, full day is offered under tuition from our designer/maker Chris, who will guide you through making at least four items to take home.

​

You will train one-to-one at our bench, using specialist and standard tools that a bench jeweller will use every day.
The skills and techniques covered may include:

• Filing/Sanding

• Polishing techniques

• Using a rolling mill

• Annealing

• Soldering

• Using a jewellers saw

• Hammering/Forging

• Beadwork

• Chain weaving/Wire work

• Understanding Hallmarks

• Gemstone basics

Please see further information in the product page.  A full day is 9:30am to 4:00pm at a date to suit both the trainee and Chris.  Lunch/drinks and materials are included.  You can purchase this for yourself, or as a gift voucher for someone else - what a marvellous and unusual gift!
