This is a 10 week Jewellery making course suitable for complete beginners. The course is split into 2 blocks, the first 5 weeks will concentrate on the necessary techniques required to then undertake your own projects.

You will be shown how to use a variety of tools and equipment required for making jewellery. You will learn, saw piercing, filling, drilling, hot and cold connections, texturing, forming and polishing.  Within these weeks you will also be shown a basic introduction to enamelling and, if you like, try a cabochon bezel setting or tube setting.

You do not need to bring anything with you as we will supply saw blades, solder and copper to practice all the above techniques within the first block.

By week 4 you should be thinking of your final project, using some of the techniques you have learned. Discuss your ideas with the tutors to plan and order your own materials for your final project.
