Earring-making

By hammering and forging, interesting and unique shapes can be stamped onto metal to create one-of-a-kind jewellery.

Join us for a workshop in the Jewellery Lab, where we will work on unique metal earrings. We will start with smaller pieces of sheet metal. Using a variety of hammers and other forging tools, we'll hammer the metal base to give the earrings an interesting three-dimensional texture, giving each piece of jewellery a unique character. The hammered sheet metal will then be sawed into the desired shape, sanded and burnished as instructed by the tutor. The finished motifs will be completed in the form of dangle earrings.

In this workshop, we will learn the basics of sawing, filing and grinding metal and how metal behaves when structured using different hammers. The workshop is a great introduction for anyone who is starting to design jewellery and would like to learn the basic techniques of working with metal for jewellery.

The workshop is part of the accompanying programme of the European Artistic Craft Days 2025, which will take place at Center Rog between 31 March and 5 April 2025.
