Service Description

Our popular weeknight block classes are the best way for keen makers to get into jewellery making in a lively, warm and friendly environment. This class will be held at our new waterfront location, Market Lane! This class is for level 2+ and advanced students. It is not open to beginners. Students must have completed at least two 4-week blocks or a 6-week fabrication block. If you are unsure of your level because you may have done a few different shorter classes, please contact us and we can advise you. Students will be supported in further developing their jewellery-making skills in the areas that interest them. Level 2 students learn to solder more competently on their own using chainmaking as a way to develop their fine soldering skills. They may create a simple stone setting or ring alongside this challenge project so they have something to hone their skills that they are familiar with, as well as taking on a new skill. Their project could be a pendant on a handmade chain, a charm bracelet or a more complex bezel setting - for example a teardrop or soft square stone to take on bezels with corners! Level 3 and above students are encouraged to work on their design skills and try new and challenging techniques. This class fee does NOT include materials for any student. All metals and stones as well as quality findings and chains are available for purchase each week in the studio. Students are encouraged to keep their silver scrap and find ways to use it thriftily in future projects! Our booking system asks for payment to be made via credit card, Afterpay or PayPal on booking. If you do not have access to these payment methods or need to pay your course fee over time please email us to arrange this ;)
