Free 2 day jewellery course in Casting Techniques for Jewellery

Perfect for parents with kids at school - Timings are geared to fit in to the school run


If you live in Southwark this course is FREE*

If you are out of borough the fee is ?190.

This 2 day course is suitable for complete beginners and for those with some experience of making. We introduce a range of home-studio casting techniques for creating jewellery and other small accessories.

You will have the opportunity to experiment with cuttlefish, delft sand and plywood mould making. Pewter, a low-melt metal, will be used for casting into the moulds, and we will also look at ways to incorporate other materials into the cast. You can also include materials like glass, wood, plastic or stone in your cast. We will also discuss the wider applications of studio casting for developing multiple casts using the lost wax process.

If you wish, once you have successfully made a cast in pewter you can also use silver. Ask for more advice if you would like to try to make your final piece in silver.

It is anticipated that you will produce a range of progressive test pieces that could form the basis of a charm necklace or bracelet.

Techniques include: Cuttlefish casting, delft sand casting, acrylic / ply method of casting, silicon mould making working with resistant materials to make prototypes for mould making.

More info will be provided at the time of booking your place.

Concessionary Rates for Southwark Residents apply because of support from Southwark Council.

    • Have you asked the school admissions officer? I'd imagine ED more likely than ND...
    • Help! We need an ideally professional photographer willing to work free or low cost for a few hours in Santa's grotto at our school fair. We can offer publicity amongst school community and fair visitors in return and it's always a great fun event. Plus halo shining having helped us raise vital funds for our children! Please get in touch for more details or to arrange a chat with the photographer who helped previously (she's otherwise engaged on the date). THANK YOU!
    • Agree, plus always worth emailing local councillors if community police not helpful with offering advice and support.. tho my experience is community police are very understanding  How did you find out? Police info? Robbers on bikes and scooters is rife everywhere in London sadly. My advice to my son is keep off your phone, be aware of your surroundings, stay around people and well lit roads as much as possible, and if anyone asks for phone or money hand it over without a struggle. My friend's son was mugged outside Finsbury Park station and it terrified him, robber had a knife and said he knew where be lived. Scary stuff. Near my work in the west end phone theft is rife too. Especially now certain metals are more scarce I imagine there's a real market in phones being sold on. Stay safe everyone and let's keep to practical solutions as building police presence back up will take years, so productive ideas such as more CCTV etc emailed to Ellie our local MP I feel would be far more constructive than posting critical political comments here.
