Intuitive jewellery making workshop [TRIAL!] | Saturday 24th May | Leeds

This trial workshop is the first of a series exploring intuitive jewellery making - the focus of my newest jewellery collection and my MA studies. This trial workshop will give me a chance to find my feet, work out timings and see what needs some development. It might not be perfect, but it will be informal, fun and you'll take away your own hand crafted piece of silver jewellery.

What is intuitive jewellery making?
In short, it's designing and making that is led by process, not outcome. We'll feel into our bodies, use the environment and natural world as inspiration, and work with theories of the unconscious, embodiment and materiality. Kind of like a jewellery making class, meditation and lecture rolled into one :)

What will you learn?
As well as exploring intuitive making, I'll guide you through jewellery making techniques such as shaping, forming, soldering and polishing. We'll use a range of tools and materials. We'll first work with copper, then with recycled silver. Metals are included in the ticket price.

What will you make?
A recycled silver ring, earrings or necklace (s). The piece of jewellery you make is completely up to you and will be guided by the intuitive making process. Please note we will not be casting or working with brass in this workshop. The pieces will be wire based.
