As classes start all over the country in September, we here at Jewel Envy are also preparing to welcome sparkly new students into our Fabrication classes for September and October.
Whether you are curious, committed, or looking to keep busy in a creative way, we have the class for you.
Fabrication is the method of making jewellery by putting together parts, in this case, by hand. Our fabrication classes are designed to teach you the skills to not only make an assigned project, but make something from your own imagination. They are the skills of goldsmiths, and you can take them as far as you are willing to go.
In our Introductory Fabrication class, starting Sept 17th and going every Wednesday for 8 weeks, we teach sawing, piercing, filing, soldering, riveting, texturing techniques, and how to make simple findings.
Take a look at what some of our Intro students do with those skills in class with a bit of Stirling silver, copper, and brass:
For students who have already finished our Intro course, Intermediate Fabrication class starting in October to build on those skills, while exploring new skills like setting. We also introduce forming techniques using dapping blocks and the hydraulic press.
