What You Will Learn?
- Welcome to the Orchid Earrings class! This class will teach you how to make two variations on a theme - lovely silver flowers that remind me of orchids in two sizes, one as a beautiful pair of drop earrings and the second as a dainty pair of studs. The class will also teach you how to make your own jump rings, melt scrap silver into little balls and will help you to improve your soldering skills..
- This is one of a series of video classes, each one showing you how to quickly and easily make a lovely pair of earrings - sometimes two pairs - as part of my #52earrings challenge. I have challenged myself to design and film tutorials for 52 pairs of earrings in 2017, and I'd love you to join me..
- In each video I will show you the materials you will need, explain the tools and equipment and go through all the steps needed to create your own lovely pair of earrings. Along the way I will share with you the same hints and tips that I teach in my jewelry making classes and private tuition so that you become more confident with your techniques and design skills with each class that you watch..
- This class is for intermediate jewellery makers as some previous experience of soldering is useful..
- The equipment needed for the project is explained in the videos and also listed on a downloadable document that covers most of the tools that I will use in future earrings video classes as well so you can plan ahead! All the equipment listed can be used for a variety of other jewellery making projects..
