Service Description

Discover colour in your silver jewellery! This week-long intensive runs from 12 - 16 January from 10am - 4.30pm each day. The focus of this week is to develop student's understanding of how to bring colour into their work, focusing on glass enamels and using different metals and patina. With a whole week to explore there is plenty of time for an exciting adventure in jewellery making. You can find the in-depth curriculum on the main Summer School Wellington page. This programme is open to learners of all levels. Complete beginners will gain foundational jewellery making skills and can expect to produce 2 or more well-finished pieces. More advanced students will be able to develop their existing abilities and learn some new techniques. Depending on where they are in their jewellery making journey, they may wish to spend more time on design fundamentals, and/or discussing their developing practice with their tutor mentors. There is also the option for those advanced students looking to create works to sell to have a business discussion with Workspace Studios founder and expert tutor Annie Collins about their next steps. From 4.30pm on Friday we will display student's works to friends and whānau, and have some drinks and nibbles to celebrate the close of a magical week! ​ Our class size is a maximum of 10 students. This group size allows for flexibility in how students work and what they create, though we are unable to introduce additional techniques beyond those planned for the week. If you have specific questions about your level, the curriculum or what you can make please email us. Course fees include a generous metal pack, and enamels allowance. Extra materials will be available to purchase and advanced students are welcome to bring along their own materials. ​ Our website asks for full payment on enrolment (Afterpay is available at checkout), but we are also offering payment plans for those who need to pay over time. Please contact us to arrange this.​​​
