Silversmithing School

Silversmithing is something I have wanted to learn for a while now. After attending a few sessions at the Lapidary Club and getting a taste for it, I enrolled in a more intensive 4 day course at Warnervale.

Day one: today was a skills based session, we learnt to solder and we practised and practised and practised.

Day two: we made a stamped ring, from start to finish. Unfortunately, I forgot to take some before photos, so I only have then end product.

Day three: bezel set ring. For this one I got to use one of the star sapphires we found in Sapphire. I was the only one in the group who completed each step myself 🤓💕. I made this ring to fit my stacker rings I made previously.

Day four: finishing the bezel ring and bonus activity of melting silver into balls and stamping them! We turned the biggest one into a pendant, which I made to match my ring.Read more
