useful piece of jewellery for yourselves or for a gift. No experience
necessary ? in fact children are welcome ? it?ll be a rewarding fun
experience for all holiday-makers.

Go home with a skill you never thought you?d get.

Jewellery Direct?
Weekend Jewellery Workshop
Brian Adam

EMPHASIS will be on simplicity, fun, and direct-design methods ? designing
right on the raw materials and developing and resolving the spontaneous
results. Copper, brass, coconut, paua, and some silver supplied.

TECHNIQUES covered are simple enough for beginners to quickly create things
with style, yet have extra tricks that experts can learn. These include:
texturing, stamping, and chasing; simple ring-making; repeat cuttlefish
casting; ?fold-forming? and ?shell-forming?, which are quick and creative
ways with sheet; and the ?Satsuo Ando? method , a simple Japanese way of
pouring ingots,

ALONG THE WAY depending on demand I will demonstrate or discuss: precious
metals theory and practical alloying; solder-making - the ancient ?eutectic?
silver solder; hardening and tempering steel tools; plus Making Eyeglasses
and Eyewear - my specialist area.

Come and develop some of your ideas in a different creative environment.
Bring your own tools, special materials, found objects, and components
collection.

There?s a possibility of an optional extra day on Monday 19th.

All levels welcome

9am to 4pm, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 Jan ?98
2 day workshop $199.00

Hi Brian

Your workshops sound wonderful. I would love any excuse to to
hop a plane and spend some more time in Queenstown. A truly
fabulous place. Could you explain what “Satsuo Ando” method of
ingot making is. I haven’t heard of this. It sound interesting.

Have fun on your holiday.
