Topics covered:
You will learn to carve an original design in jewellery wax from which a simple silicone mould is made, allowing you to cast your own reproductions of the object in resin using a range of beautiful opaque and transparent colours.
There will be plenty of time to experiment with embedding objects into the resin and to cast resin into pre-made moulds.
Some of the projects that you will make include a ring and pendant.
You will learn basic jewellery making techniques such as cutting, filing, soldering and polishing to make silver pieces to combine with resin, and also to create pieces from sheet acrylic.
