What will I make?
A pair of silver drop floral earrings.
What will happen on the day?
You will start the day with a tea or coffee whilst getting to know your fellow makers. You will be supplied with everything you need including pad, pencil, apron, silver and tools.
This class will begin by looking at a variety of floral earrings which you can choose to make, or you may want to adapt them to your own design. Through demonstrations and guidance from the tutor, you will then learn the various ways of cutting out your desired shape, having the chance to practice on a piece of copper before moving onto sterling silver.
You will then make your earring hooks using heat and pliers, which will be threaded through a drilled hole in the flower to create a beautiful pair of silver drop earrings, ready to wear or to be gifted to someone special.
What skills do I need?
Difficulty Level: EASY
No previous experience needed, just a steady hand, a little patience and willingness to give it a go! Don't worry if you feel you're not artistic or creative, you will be taken through the whole process step by step.
What should I bring?

- Money or card payment for optional gold plating
