Beginner
These courses are in blocks of 5 or 6 weeks, 2 hour sessions and will introduce basic silver jewellery making techniques to the complete beginner.
You will learn new skills and techniques each week such as sawing, filing, soldering, roll printing, stamping, shaping and finishing metals including copper and silver. This course is broken down into a series of simple projects where you can make a silver ring, a pendant or a pair of earrings / cufflinks and you will learn how to make a cabochon stone setting.
Materials for beginner projects are available to purchase in the class, this ranges between £10 and £40 over the whole course, depending on your designs.
This is a relaxed and friendly class with a maximum of 6 students.
There is no need to bring anything but a sketchbook and pencil would be useful, also glasses if you wear them! Parking is available.

Improver
These day time and evening courses are great if you have attended a beginner level block and would like to learn more techniques. The improver course is an extention of the beginner course but without set projects from the tutor. Students can go over techniques already learned, learn new ones where necessary and embark on their own projects with tutor support. Students are encouraged to experiment and practice using tools to improve their skills and confidence.
