Our information on jewellery courses recommends an excellent Jewellery School for all jewellery making levels, from beginner to advanced, from casting to enamelling.
In
The Studio Jewellery School provides residential jewellery making
courses of between 2 and 5 days duration. Courses include theory
and practical in jewellery making, engraving, enamelling, sculpting
in wax, laser welding and stone faceting. Courses cater for both
the complete beginner to the advanced Jeweller.
Beginner courses cover workshop safety
and understanding of tools used in jewellery making. You will also
have the opportunity to practice learning simple jewellery techniques,
which cover cutting, filing, soldering shaping, etc.
More advanced jewellery courses cover
casting, mould making, gemstone cutting and engraving, etc. Overall
the courses are good value for money.
The school is owned and run by Teresa Speer, herself
being a Contemporary Jeweller. Her jewellery work has been displayed
at the Gibbs Gallery in Coventry Cathedral and the City Gallery
in Leicester. Recent exhibitions include, XXVII Fidem 2000 International
Medallienkunst Berlin/Weimar. Teresa has completed freelance design
work developing jewellery prototypes for top companies such as
Josiah Wedgwood at Stoke on Trent.
The school also employs other specialised
lecturers in their field, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge
in jewellery making techniques, which cumulatively add up to over
200 years of experience.
The Georgian / Victorian listed cottage
accommodation for the residential courses is adjacent to the converted
workshop/studios. All rooms are well proportioned, some with original
oak beams. There is a comfortable communal area for students to
socialise and recall the events of the day. It's the ideal setting
for your jewellery courses.

Unfortunately our competition was being spammed by automated competition entry services, which caused problems for our website and means we are having to have our entry form altered a bit. We're currently working on this and are hoping to have the competition up and running in November again.
