Silversmithing

Just got back from silversmithing course with Jes Marshall and Fran Barker at flux'n'flame in Dorset. Images of my first silver pieces...







This was exactly what I needed and managed to cram loads of techniques onto my very steep learning curve. The courses are so flexible, you just go and learn what you need to learn, no set agenda and LOADS of support - can't recommend enough. So for someone with no smithing expertise at all, not bad! Has also spurred me on for my designs for the exhibition, now have the know-how to realise my imaginings for the Connemara beach stuff, as well as other techniques to follow the 'oceanic' theme...
