Jewellery in Recycled Materials Short Course

Course overview

During the course, students explore the cold connections that can be used to make jewellery with materials where soldering is not possible, such as gluing, pegging, riveting, stapling and stitching. Students use riveting to combine parts together to make earrings and a pendant.

Students have the opportunity to use jewellery hand tools in the fully-equipped jewellery studio at Central Saint Martins and attach silver findings. By the end of the course, students will have at least 2 pieces of finished jewellery and understand a range of cold connections.

Students may wish to progress to other jewellery short courses to continue developing the technical skills needed to bring their ideas to life.

This course is available in multiple formats: a 5-week evening course or a 3-day course. If a certain format isn't listed please check back for future dates.
