Farah will start with an introduction about her passion for jewellery, which she has had since she was a teenager. With a degree in 3D design and metalwork, she brings over 20 years of experience to the table, drawing inspiration from botany, travel and everyday life.
Farah will then ensure that all participants are briefed on health and safety protocols, creating a safe environment for learning.
Now for the practical aspects of jewellery making. Under Farah's guidance, you'll learn how to use a torch and various tools effectively, laying the foundations for your own creations.
Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to dive into the core techniques. From cutting and shaping metal to soldering, each step is precise and methodical. Sanding and polishing add the finishing touches, transforming raw materials into polished pieces.
You'll have the freedom to choose whether you want to add texture or leave the surface smooth, allowing for personal expression in your design.
You'll leave Farah's workshop with your own silver rings and a new appreciation of craftsmanship and sustainability.
