Metalsmith Workshop


I attended my first metalsmith workshop yesterday at the Marketplace Theatre in Armagh. It was probably the best workshop I have attended so far. We were given a small piece of silver to work with (after drawing out our designs). I went with a design already drawn and I didn't change it all that much. I have only just finished it off as I wanted to use some gorgeous Jasper beads which I got from BDI in Bray. I would definitely recommend this class, I want to go again - now. (Even though when I woke this morning I thought I had no use of my arms!)

    Your silverwork is so beautiful and the metal looks very good together with the colours of the beads.
    It is so many different beautiful things to look at here in your blog!

    Thanks for your message on my blog. Didn't think I knew the name until I had a look at your blog and saw your photo and the photo of that amazing birdcage. Wasn't that you sitting in front of me at the MegaScrap classes? I also saw the birdcage IRL and I have to say it is soooooo beautiful. The jewelry is gorgeous too!
