Jewellery making course content

During the four days of the course, you will have the opportunity to work with everything from beads and wire to precious metal clay (PMC); from recycled household materials to copper. And you'll be using a variety of jewellery making techniques: knotting, silversmithing, cold connections and more.

Each day we will focus on specific materials and techniques, so you'll be building up a range of jewellery items and crafting skills. What's more, you'll leave the course with not only an enviable array of handmade jewellery, but also the ability to carry on making more on your own.

Equipment and materials

We will provide all the equipment and materials you need. While you're on the course, you will also be encouraged to hunt for and collect items that you can 'recycle' by turning them into imaginative new accessories as part of a body adornment project we'll be carrying out.

Exhibition of work

On the final evening of the course we will be holding an exhibition of the work that you've produced during the week, including a catwalk show that will feature the results of the recycled body adornment project. Your family and friends are encouraged to come along!
