Automata and Kinetic, Workshop

New Class Coming Soon 

​Kinetic/Automaton/Mechanical Class

Have you yearned to make a piece of jewellery, or an ornament which is not static but that can move in someway?  Make a bird fly, or have hares leaping in the grass, or have a cloud move from side to side?

Then this is the class for you.

You will have the choice of designs - whether you prefer automato, where you make cams and by turning a little handle, your object will move up and down - or whether you prefer to use sliders to have your design to move up and down, or sideways on sliders. 

It doesn't matter how it moves as long as it does. The options are numerous.

We will have a couple of different designs for you to choose from - but if you have something you'd specifically like to make, contact Tracy and see if it is feasible to do in the time allocated for the class.

​Tutor: Tracy
Price: 160.00 - for copper or brass. 
If you'd like to work in silver, you can either pay a supplement  or bring your own silver. If you'd like to purchase from Tracy, then please contact her a week beforehand so she has time to order it in for you.

Date: TBC. Please contact Tracy to register your interest in this class.​
Duration:  7 hours
Time: 10.00 - 17:00  With half an hour lunch break.  (We can run later if you have not completed your piece)
Class level: 
​Advanced. Suitable for those with a good level of jewellery making skills. 

Outline: 
​We understand that students might not be confident to make their first of automata in sterling silver, so for this class we will be making a piece in your choice of either copper or brass. If you are confident and would like to make it in sterling silver, there will be an extra charge for precious metals. Alternatively you can supply your own. With enough advance notice, Tracy can also order in silver in time for your class.

This cosy unisex class which is held in our Liverpool workshop, is also a great environment to develop your creativity and do something fun with like-minded people. It also offers the opportunity to make lovely original gifts.

​​Refreshments:
  • Tea, Coffee and biscuits provided.
  • Bring a packed lunch. We will take a short break for lunch, where weather permitting we can sit outside in the garden.
What to Bring:

This is a workshop environment, so your well being and safety is important to us. To ensure this is a safe - but fun environment for you to learn in; we ask that you please:
​
  • Wear comfortable old clothing, or bring an apron. Ear defenders and safety glasses are provided.
  • Long hair to be tied back. 
  • No loose flowing scarves, long sleeves or jewellery to be worn. These can easily get caught up in machinery.
  • Closed flat shoes - no sandals allowed.
  • Spectacles, if needed for close up work.
  • Notebook and pencil. Although we do provide some hand outs, you may want to take your own notes or draw sketches.​
