Empowering the Future of Infrastructure
The Jewellery Maker is a warm and welcoming place for anyone who wishes to learn or improve their jewellery making skills. Join us in one of our courses, discover a new hobby, meet new people, and unleash your creativity. It's great fun!
We offer a variety of courses, including one-day courses in silver clay, beading, wire work, casting, and stone setting. For those looking for a more intensive experience, we have a five-day course in silver smithing, where you will learn all the basic techniques required to create stunning jewellery. We also offer a shorter, three-day introductory course. For those who wish to attend regularly, we have weekly afternoon and evening classes for both beginners and advanced students. During these sessions, you can learn how to make silver rings, silver bracelets, silver bangles, silver pendants, silver cuff links, and silver earrings using sterling silver sheet, sterling silver wire, Swarovski crystals, silver clay, and a wide range of beads, which are all available at the school.
