DIY Silversmithing for Beginners 2

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Book or Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 2-4 Business days. We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

Now that you have created some cool new jewellery in the first course, you are now ready to tackle some new skills and learn to work with the new tools - the screw mount bench peg, electric drill and saw. These new tools will open up a host of designing possibilities, as well as expanding on your newly acquired skill from DIY Silversmithing 1.

You will learn the classic art of silversmithing, learning how to create pendants, earrings, bracelets, chains using silver and copper wire.

This online class can only be taken if you have prior jewellers experience, or have taken the DIY Silversmithing 1.

You will build on your designing, hammering, measuring, shaping, texturing, forming, filing as well as learning how to use the saw, drill, and screw mount bench peg.

Through a series of projects which build your skills and proficiency with using tools, you can either advance to the next set of online course which introduces new tools along with more advanced projects and techniques. Or explore the various aspects of wrapping, shaping wire, and sawing shapes with the tools you have in your kit.

In this workshop series, you will be making:

• Oval disc earrings w/ dangles
• Drilled gemstone earrings
• Mixed metal chain w/Pendant
• Scroll cut pendant with pearl accent
• Cuff bracelet

A jewellery studio in a box is the best way to describe this course. You just provide the space. Work at your own pace to expand and explore your love of jewellery - one of the most creative indoor activities to try at home.
