Class format and activities

The course is entirely face to face in the workshop. Students are expected to bring their own ideas and projects and will be given one to one guidance. Group discussion and sharing of tips and techniques will enhance your learning. The tutor will demonstrate new techniques. The group will share information and news about current exhibitions and industry contacts relevant to jewellery production and suppliers of materials.

Entry requirements

Previous jewellery making experience is required. Students typically have worked in precious metals and have acquired a range of technical skills. Students will be self- motivated and initiate their own project ideas which they will then be guided and assisted with by the tutor.

What you need to know before you enrol

It is recommended that you speak with the tutor before enrolling.

What you need

The workshop is equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment and copper and brass are available to purchase form the tutor. However, typically students will supply their own precious metal and gems choosing materials appropriate for their own designs. It is recommended that you bring a notepad, pencil and an apron.

What you can do next

For many highly competent makers this course will be practiced as a hobby. For others it will provide the necessary development to embark on a degree level course, start a jewellery business or seek employment.
