About the class

Join artist and jeweller Sophie Quinn for this 8-week course designed for beginners and intermediate students alike, introducing the fundamentals of silversmithing and contemporary jewellery design.

Starting with copper, you’ll explore essential techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, texturing, polishing, and applying patina. Sophie will guide you in designing and creating your own unique piece of jewellery, helping you develop both technical confidence and creative expression at your own pace.

Students should bring:

  • Notebook

  • Apron

  • Enclosed shoes

Should you need, Bezel Ring Kits are available to purchase for $20 through reception at the Fremantle Arts Centre. These will be available throughout the term.

Students must wear appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and tie up long hair for safety reasons.
