Fire is the crucial element when working with copper, silver and gold.&nbsp;
 Fire alone isn&#39;t enough, so you&#39;ll learn how to prepare, anneal, form and cut copper using a variety of tools and techniques.&nbsp;
 It&#39;s an amazing feeling to transform a flat piece of copper sheet into a three-dimensional piece of jewellery you will be proud of to wear or to give away as a very special gift.
 With your new-found knowledge you will never look at a piece of jewellery the same way again!
 The course lasts around 3 hours and there will always be a kettle on the go.
The Colourbuzz studio is only accessible by outside stairs, so if you have mobility problems contact me to see if we can find a solution.
