New Jewellery Courses in Spring- Metalsmithing level1 and 2 & Casting Techniques with Ina Stehle
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Soigne is pleased to welcome guest teacher Ina Stehle. Ina is a German apprenticed goldsmith and is visiting Vancouver for one year to find new inspirations for her work and to inspire others. 
She made her apprenticeship at a well known jeweller’s in Aachen from 2001 until 2005 to learn the traditional handcraft of a goldsmith. During this time she participated in additional goldsmith training for special techniques and won several prices from the guild of goldsmithing. After becoming a goldsmith she worked for different businesses to improve her technical skills and became self employed in Hamburg in 2007. She designed and manufactured mainly one of a kind jewellery – fascinated by modern design and the beauty of gemstones. You can see some of her works at www.inastehle.de
She taught several jewellery courses over the last three years in her atelier in Hamburg. The wedding ring, wax carving and casting courses were particularly popular. Now you have the possibility to learn the traditional metalsmith techniques from her.
In the spring Soigne will be offering Metalsmithing level1 and 2 as well as Casting Techniques. More info you can find under section: CLASSES on the right hand side of the blog. Closer to Summer Ina will be teaching Wire Wrapping, Finding, Beading class and Wedding Ring for Two.
