This course is a hands-on opportunity for you to develop your jewellery design practice and learn to work more independently on your own projects in a safe environment. If you are already fairly experienced in jewellery-making and are confident piercing, filing, drilling, annealing, soldering, bending and forming metal with minimal supervision, this course is ideal for you to perfect your ongoing skills, discover different techniques, and consider new ways of approaching design and making. You'll work independently on your own projects or follow a series of short, structured projects, all with the guidance of an expert jewellery-maker and the use of a fully equipped jewellery-crafting studio.

About this course

- understand the working properties of metal and other materials
- master a range of techniques used in the making of pieces
- use a range of hand tools and types of machinery with confidence
- recognise and implement good health and safety practice in the workshop.

City Lit provides most of the tools and equipment you will need for jewellery-making, and basic materials in reasonable quantities such as base metals, paper, enamel, chemicals, and sundries (etching resist, polishing compound etc.) However you will need to buy some specific items such as saw blades, precious metals, and stones. You will also need a sketchbook for your design work and to write notes. As you gain experience you might want to invest in your own tools.

Course programme

There are no set topics or class-wide projects on this course: you should bring to class some ideas of what you would like to make, and with guidance from the tutor you will realise these plans at your own pace, picking up new skills, techniques and approaches along the way.

The course is held in a well-equipped workshop setting, and is taught through demonstrations and photographic examples, with individual support and advice given to guide and extend your abilities. There are no class-wide projects, rather the tutor will guide you in developing your own work.
