Junior jewellers saw projects, Part 2
WOW! Most of the work featured here was the first time students ever used a jeweller’s saw! Students choose an image, transfer it to metal, and cut it all out by hand. Some students chose to try their hand at sweat-soldering two pieces together. Incredible work, everyone!
Junior Jewellers Saw projects, Part 1
WOW! Most of the work featured here was the first time students ever used a jeweller’s saw! Students choose an image, transfer it to metal, and cut it all out by hand. Some students, including K.M. in Grade 10 (the amazing orca) chose to try their hand at sweat-soldering two pieces together. Incredible work, everyone!
Riveted pendant
Beautiful work by C.B. in Grade 12 – nickel silver and copper riveted together with copper wire, then domed and polished.
Hand-carved Lost Wax casting!
Inspired by some of Gray Metal’s work out of Vancouver, C.R. in Grade 12 carved and cast this gorgeous ring out of sterling silver – love the geometric style!
Junior Creative Rings
In Jewelry 9/10, students learn basic ring-making, with the option of adding texture, patina, or hand-cut detail to their pieces. Excellent work!

It’s been a busy year here in the Highland shops! After a hiatus to complete a Masters degree, I’m (finally) updating our website. Thank you for your patience!
Here are some incredible pieces from our Fall 2018 Senior students – all pieces are soldered with 2 types of metal, and hand-cut with jeweller’s saws by students. Excellent work everyone!

Some great pewter castings done by Jewelry 9/10 students in Spring 2018: wow! Designs are chosen and hand-carved into plaster blocks, cast out of pewter, then sanded, polished, and finished.
