We are delighted to welcome back to Touchmark Studios, Clare John, an experienced jeweller and tutor in Resins, sometimes known as cold enamels. Clare teaches at a number of venues around the country, including the prestigious Birmingham School of Jewellery
This is a 2 day workshop which follows on from the workshop Clare gave last year. It will give jewellery makers the opportunity to use resin in different ways. The two days will focus on making 3D jewellery like large beads and bangles in resin. You will be shown how to make moulds from silicone and how to cast resin. The resin comes in a wide range of colours and effects like transparent, sparkle and pearl and metallic effects. There will also be time to discuss using resin with metal clay and traditional jewellery and we will practise finishing techniques, including how to add jump rings and bails to pendants and how to drill resin.
The resins you will be working with are odour free and therefore much safer to use than traditional resins. There will be time to discuss using resin with metal clay and traditional jewellery. Finishing techniques and problem solving will also be covered.
