Suitable for all levels of experience, whether you are a complete beginner or already jewellery making and looking to fill knowledge gaps and improve your technique,  this is the first module of our Certificate in Fashion Jewellery Programme - comprehensive jewellery making training for anyone who wants to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence in making fabulous fashion jewellery.  

This hands on training is run as a hybrid studio/online course to manage Covid-19 restrictions and disruption where you will learn the theory, watch each technique demonstrated by your expert tutor, ask questions and practise the techniques taught so you gain confidence.  And there's always help on hand to guide, encourage and help, quickly identifying any issues and advising how to correct them.  As a mixed ability class, you'll find it a supportive learning environment where students learn from and inspire each other.

Where this jewellery making course differs from others is that it also teaches you how to buy the correct jewellery making equipment and materials.  Plus, you will learn lots of tips and tricks of the trade that you can start putting into practise straight away.

It is for you if you want to...

- make individual, stylish jewellery that you are proud to give as gifts or sell

- increase your knowledge of jewellery making techniques and repertoire of designs

- perfect your skills and get a great finish every time

- understand how to use individual components and combine them with other components

- save yourself money by knowing exactly what to buy for your designs

- get the best from your tools and avoid unnecessary purchases

This course runs in 10 week terms with a week off for half term in the middle, each Wednesday morning 10.00 - 12.00
