WHAT: Birds & bees jewellery workshop, using Pebeo porcelain paint
Learn how to make a pendant or a brooch in metal and then add colour to the surface using pebeo porcelain paints.
On this one day course participants will form a pendant and/or a brooch from sheet metal. This will be hand painted using the pebeo porcelain paint. There is the possibility within the one day course to make a pendant and a brooch piece.
You will first cut out your design from brass sheet metal, using a piercing saw, snips and then filing the edges down so they are smooth. Add details such as eyes and beak definition onto the surface using hammer and punch. This would likely be kept to the minimum, but additional details such as legs can be added in wire and soldered to the piece.
Finally you will use the pebeo porcelain 150 paints to add colour to the surface of your design. As these paints need a 24 hr time period to dry before they are baked in an oven, participants will have to leave their pieces with us for firing.
For pendants you will put together a brass effect chain to the length of your choice. And a brooch back will be glued to any brooches before work is returned via post (+ £3pp) or collected from the studio the following Monday onwards.
WHERE: New Street, Globe 1
