Under the guidance of Silversmith Jemica Ostrofski, learn how to design and fabricate textured Jewellery using recycled metals. The basic metalsmithing techniques of mark making will be explored using various hammers, letter stamps, number stamps, metal shears and other tools.

The workshop will run for 2 hours, during which you will create 1 finished piece.
