Weekend Beginner Silver Jewellery Course

This is a weekend intensive course consisting of 4 x 5 hour classes over 2 weekends.

Our Beginner Silver Jewellery Course is designed to introduce basic metal working techniques for students who are new to making silver jewellery. Our aim is to ensure students feel safe and confident in the workshop and have a good understanding of how to safely use the various pieces of equipment. We do this through a series of projects that change through the year.

On completion of this course students will have a good grasp of basic jewellery making techniques and can be confident enough to set up at home. Students intending to further their learning can enrol on our Improver courses which cover more advanced techniques.
