Course of

Hobby Goldsmith

A short goldsmith Course for those who want to challenge themselves. The program includes all the basic techniques of the Professional Goldsmith Course and knowledge of all the main equipment. Students work silver to make non-complex objects, starting with pure metals, making alloys and preparing semi-finished products to arrive at the final object. In this course the objects realised remain property of the students.

90% of the students who finish the Hobby Course ask us to continue. Extremely easy: by paying the difference in price between the Professional and Hobby Goldsmith Course, you can continue the training to complete the program.

Program

Precious metals, their characteristics and alloys. Preparation of jewellery alloys, casting, rolling and drawing. Workbench manufacture of jewellery objects and related techniques (fretwork, gas+air soldering, use of drill, milling, drawing, measuring bracelets and rings). Final polishing and quality control with 10X lens.
