Sculptural Silver: Anticlastic Raising Course

Master anticlastic raising and advanced silver smithing techniques to create striking three-dimensional sculptural jewellery in silver.

Our Sculptural Silver: Anticlastic Raising Course teaches how to transform flat sheet silver into flowing, complex, three-dimensional forms. Using anticlastic raising alongside a range of advanced metal sculpting techniques, you’ll develop the skills to create bold, dynamic jewellery with real sculptural presence.

This is a highly practical course, designed to build confidence in advanced forming and finishing while giving you the creative freedom to realise your own jewellery ideas.
