Granulation in Gold & Silver


  • Vanilla Ink Jewellery School CIC 3rd Floor, 60 Brook Street Bridgeton Glasgow, G3 8ND (map)

Join artist-jeweller Linda Lewin for a three-day practical masterclass in granulation and chemical soldering, an ancient jewellery technique still dazzling today. You’ll learn how to apply this delicate, decorative process to your own contemporary designs while exploring its deep roots in jewellery history.

The course begins with a short introduction to the origins and science of granulation before moving swiftly into hands-on making. You’ll create your own granules, practise a range of surface applications, and experiment with both silver and gold, depending on your confidence and ambition.

By the end of the three days, you’ll have built an impressive set of samples along with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to continue exploring this timeless craft in your own studio.
