A combination of guided demonstrations and hands-on experience you will have the opportunity to texture through roll printing. You will learn how to cut your own silhouette from Perspex, cut quick multiples using pancake dies and with your textured metal (or bring the textures you created from the etching workshop!), learn how to solder and match a 2-sided form to create a 3d object. You will have time to create as well as make a series of samples for future jewellery projects
