If you have any Silversmithing tools please bring them along. You will also need to purchase silver from the tutor on the day. This will cost about £20 but will depend on the prevailing price of silver at the time. You will also need to bring packed lunch. Students should try to wear dark clothing or an apron as the polishing can get clothing dirty. Long hair should be tied back when soldering or polishing. No open toe shoes.
