It is quite hard on your hands, holding small bits of metal and filing or polishing, but definitely worth it!
Tools of the trade - those 4 bits of copper are my test pieces. You can see a few bows that I made from copper wire. These were placed on the flat pieces and then run through the metal roller, which is like a printing press for metal.
Our items as they came out of the ball-bearing polisher. (its like the kind of thing you would put rocks in to polish) Both the earings and my bow 3-piece were made using the metal roller.
Eh viola! I wore mine to work today!
And I've got another course next week to look forward to as well! This one is costume jewellery - so will use glass beads...I've got a purple necklace in mind, perhaps a few bracelets??
