Mixed-Metal Earrings (Teens & Adults): 3-Hour Workshop

Course Description


Explore the art of jewellery making in this lively, hands-on workshop designed for both teens and adults. Over three creative hours, participants will learn to design and craft their own unique earrings using a combination of copper, brass, and aluminium. Whether you’re a first-time maker or an enthusiastic hobbyist, this session offers an inspiring space to experiment with shape, texture, and mixed-metal contrast.

Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll be introduced to essential jewellery-making techniques, including metal cutting, shaping, texturing, filing, finishing, and simple cold-connection methods. All tools and materials are provided—just bring your imagination!
