Specialist Courses

We offer a number of specialist courses for those who have mastered the basics of silver jewellery and want to learn more advanced techniques.

• Wire Jewellery

Working with wire is an excellent way to create beautiful jewellery at home. You will learn to maximise the use of your pliers and combine wire and beads to create a collection of jewellery pieces including rings, earrings, a bracelet and a necklace.

• Resin Jewellery

Many contemporary jewellers are now using resin in their work. On this course you will learn how to work with resin and incorporate resin into your silver jewellery.

• Wax Carving for Cast Silver Jewellery

On this course you will learn the technique of carving a piece of jewellery in wax and then having the wax cast in silver by a commercial caster. The silver piece is then cleaned, sanded and polished. This is a relatively easy process which can be used to make complicated pieces.

The tutors for these courses are experienced practicing jewellers who specialise in these techniques in their own work. These are very practical courses and you will design and make pieces of jewellery that make use of the special techniques being taught.

Some prior experience of jewellery making is desirable, such as one of our beginners courses.
