About this event

Join Jasmine Swales, silversmith from Studio Surf on Yorke Peninsula, at Fleurieu Arthouse in McLaren Vale for a fun and interactive silver jewellery making workshop - guaranteed to spark your creative side.

It is a great experience that you are sure to enjoy.

In this full day session, Jasmine will guide you through the process to create your very own sterling silver ring, and then move on to more advanced silver-smithing techniques to set a piece of sea glass, beach pebble or other cabochon into a hand-shaped sterling silver bezel. Your silver bezel can then be turned into a pendant or added to your handmade ring before completing the final set and polish.

Silversmithing techniques used in this session include ring forming, soldering, texturing, hand piercing, layering solder joins, bezel setting, burnishing and polishing.

All materials are provided, including silver and a take-home worksheet.

Hi, I'm Jasmine, co-owner of Studio Surf art gallery in Marion Bay, Yorke Peninsula.

Silversmith, art teacher, conservationist, traveller and mother of two. I love to make jewellery, art and create things with my hands.

As an artisan jeweller I predominantly work with sterling silver and sea glass to create unique, ethical and sustainable jewellery. All my silver is recycled and the repurposing of beach glass promotes marine conservation, which I am passionate about. I use a wide range of methods, and am constantly learning new techniques.

As a regional art facilitator and teacher, I love to share my skills and passion for art. I host after-school, holiday and regular art programs for children, adults, community and NDIS participants with the aim of bringing a variety of quality arts experiences to our regional participants. I work across all mediums and develop programs to suit a variety of people. My long term programs are developed in conjunction with participants to ensure maximum engagement and benefit. From pottery, printmaking, painting and drawing to performing arts, costume design and textiles, the only limit is our combined imaginations.

Sharing my skills with others is something I love even more than creating on my own. It is truly something special to be able to help inspire and assist others to expand their imagination and create something fabulous.
