Jewellery making workshop

I went to a jewellery making workshop at Westhope College in Shropshire on Saturday but got fixated on copper instead.

Neither did I make any jewellery!

With the consent of the tutor, and after having mastered the basics of manipulating metal, annealing it and then applying solder, I moved on to more experimental work.

I spent some time making copper spoons and wrapping decorated glass fragments and also in cutting copper sheets into tiny pieces and piercing them.

Since then I have discoloured them using a solution of ammonia, vinegar and salt and then added embossing power.

These are a work in progress
