Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience in jewellery making, our courses are designed to help you master traditional techniques and create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces. Delve into the world of metalwork and unleash your inner artist as you learn to craft beautiful treasures with your own two hands.
Master Traditional Techniques
Our Silversmithing and Jewellery courses cover a wide range of traditional techniques, including soldering, sawing and shaping. These foundational skills are essential for creating intricate and durable pieces of jewellery. Our expert tutors will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you gain a thorough understanding of the techniques and tools used in silversmithing.
Soldering is a key skill in jewellery making, allowing you to join pieces of metal together with precision and strength. You’ll learn how to use a soldering torch and various types of solder to create seamless joints. Sawing is another fundamental technique, enabling you to cut intricate shapes and patterns from metal sheets. Our courses will teach you how to handle a jeweller’s saw with confidence and accuracy.
Shaping metal is an art form in itself, requiring patience and skill. You’ll learn how to manipulate metal using hammers, anvils and other tools to create beautiful, flowing forms. These techniques will allow you to bring your unique vision to life, whether you’re crafting delicate rings or intricate pendants.
Create Stunning, One-of-a-Kind Pieces
One of the most rewarding aspects of silversmithing is the ability to create unique, personalised pieces of jewellery. Our courses encourage you to explore your creativity and develop your own style.
