One-Year Contemporary Jewellery & Bench Skills

Suitable for beginners and intermediate students
Limited to just 7 places

This one-year programme is designed for those who want to fully commit to developing their jewellery-making skills in a structured and supportive environment.

Running from September to June, with classes held Tuesdays, 10:30am to 5:30pm, this full-day format allows for deeper learning, greater focus, and meaningful progress each week.

The course is built around a project-based curriculum, where each student works through a series of practical exercises and customisable jewellery projects. This approach ensures that technical skills are developed alongside creative thinking and personal design direction.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through core bench skills, while also being encouraged to explore more contemporary techniques and processes.

Subjects covered include, but are not limited to:

• Saw piercing

• Soldering

• Filing and finishing

• Metal forming and forging

• Texturing techniques

• Stone setting

• Wax carving and casting

• And more

Throughout the year, there is a strong emphasis on applied learning, helping you build confidence at the bench while creating a body of work you can be proud of.

This course is ideal for those with a busy schedule who still want a clear structure, defined progression, and tangible results over time.

All materials are provided.
