Starting term one - new processes

Post by Gemma Foskett, Indigo 2

Second week, and it was great to back in the workshop again. This year we are looking at some of the more industrial processes used in jewellery, starting with the hydraulic press. Our workshop teacher, Seung Ki Hong guided us through the motions of our first mechanically pressed hollow form, as well as a brush up on our bench skills after our ridiculously long holiday.

Then came Friday and our first glass class with Jane Morrisey. We had an introduction to a few techniques, learning Pate de Verre and glass fusing, and put our first batch into the kiln for firing. It's exciting to be working with all the vivid colours, and we look forward to the results...
