• We provide all the tools, machinery, protective equipment, etc. that you need, so dress for the weather and we'll get going!
• Course leader: Amanda Edstrand with education from Konstfack Sthlm and Alchimia Florens.
• No prior knowledge is required, but it is a slightly more advanced course.
• The course includes all materials except the silver cost, which amounts to 25 SEK/g.
• For reference, a "normal sized" ring weighs between 8-20g, which means an extra cost of between 200-500 SEK per object that you choose to cast, the cost is based on the weight of your object.
• If you have your own silver in the form of silver cutlery, old jewelry or similar, it is fine to bring it and use it for your jewelry. We recommend mixing your silver with 50% new silver to ensure the quality, which we offer for the silver cost of 25 SEK/g.
• If someone wants to do a stone setting, that's fine for an extra cost in the form of the additional work for us and the cost of the stone you want to set.
• We only have 4 places per course to ensure that all course participants get the space they need in the form of supervision and personal development.
• If there are fewer than 2 course participants, the course will be cancelled.
• Remember that regardless of your prior knowledge or ambition, we are here to meet your specific vision. We are very flexible and for us there are no impossible projects.
