Half Day Jewellery Making Workshop - Silver Hoop Earrings

A 3 hour course getting creative and learning to making jewellery. Craft your very own pair of sterling silver hoop earrings, whether as a gift for somebody or a treat for yourself. Hosted, in a traditional flint barn workshop which is nestled amongst the South Downs in the beautiful Cuckmere Haven (close to Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne & Hastings). You will be guided through the process of working in precious metals using traditional silversmithing techniques such as annealing, forging, soldering, filing and polishing. After this workshop you take home a totally unique, handmade pair of silver hoop earrings as well as a host of jewellery making tips and techniques. As an additional extra, you will have the option to have your earrings gold plated which can be requested and paid for at the end of the workshop. Please note this service takes 3 weeks and you will need to leave your hoops with us, which can then be collected or posted out. N.B (We highly recommend that you spend some time in our beautiful village of Litlington where you can walk along the South Downs, amble along the Cuckmere River, visit the Litlington Crystal Store and the local Long Man Brewery or grab a bite and a pint at the 17th Century Plough & Harrow, before or after your jewellery class.)
