1st Silversmithing class

My New Year's resolution this year was to "learn new things" (and to moisturise, but that isn't very interesting) so I've enrolled in a Silversmithing course at my local Adult Education centre. Thursday was my first lesson.
Once I'd found the workshop I met my lovely teacher and 4 other eager ladies. Then we got down to the serious business of Health and Safety and making a ring!!!!!! After we had got over the shock of all the terrible things we could injure ourselves with we were handed a small slip of paper. This, we were told was the best way to measure our fingers. Suitable measure we then went on to anneal, saw, file, shape, solder and pickle our rings. I'm very impressed with my little copper ring, which I hope next week will gain silver wire edging and a flower.

I hope you like my little shares and that the pictures will get more interesting as I make more pieces. If anyone would like to commission a piece, or give me some lovely ideas, please comment below or send me an email. Looking forward to next week lots x
