Explore three-dimensional metalworking using the technique of curved score folding. Learn how to shape wire and how to use it to score sheet metal to create some unique pieces of jewellery. The tutor Paul Wells has developed these innovative techniques as shown in his book "New Jewellery Techniques- Curved Scoring and Folding for Metalwork and Silversmithing". Suitable for all levels.
After looking at and discussing examples and samples, the tutor will demonstrate scoring and folding techniques over the four days. These will then be practiced with help and guidance from the tutor. Students will make samples of the techniques from base metals, which will be supplied by the college.
