Workshop jewellery making with MAREIKE silver or brass
Benefits of brass jewellery (earring posts are always 925 silver):
Warm, Golden Aesthetic - a beautiful natural golden tone, giving the look of gold jewellery at a fraction of the price. It complements a wide range of skin tones and has a soft, vintage appeal.
Durable and Long-Lasting - strong and resilient, resistant to bending or warping. This makes it perfect for rings, bangles, and intricate metalwork that need to hold their shape.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable - Often made from recycled copper and zinc, brass is an environmentally conscious choice, appealing to customers who value sustainability.
Beautiful Patina with Age - Over time, brass develops a rich antique patina, adding character and depth. Many artisans and wearers love this evolving look, unlike silver, which tends to tarnish and require polishing.
Under her expert tuition, you’ll see plenty of examples and explore how metal behaves, melts and bends into shape, add a hammered texture to make your design unique. You’ll use a blowtorch to solder on the earring posts, and other jewellery parts, then sand and polish your pieces to a beautiful finish.By the end of the session, you’ll take home a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery —handmade by you! This small-group class is a great way to try your hand at jewellery-making in a relaxed, creative setting. All materials & equipment provided.
