Three and Six Week Block Courses
Our three and six week courses are designed to ensure you learn the traditional jewellery and silversmithing techniques to carry you through your jewellery making journey. The Level 1 - Beginners course covers techniques such as piercing, soldering, filing, bezel setting and adding interest to your metal with texture and polishing. In the Level 2 - Intermediate classes we cover patination, reticulation, fusing, granulation and tube settings. During the Level - 3 Advanced Classes, we cover techniques such as making your own tube and collet settings, whilst encouraging you to practice all your techniques learned in the previous courses. In the Advanced+ Courses, we teach more complex techniques like making a locket using hinges, or delving into silversmithing techniques, like making a trinket box or spoons. Our Jewellery making courses are as flexible as possible - we don't have specified pieces you have to make, but instead you are guided in whatever you choose to do. You will receive individual tuition at a pace suited to you. Everyone works on their own projects at their own pace, which has the extra benefit of creating a fabulously diverse range of techniques within one course. |
Taster Classes Our one-day silver jewellery taster classes are a great introduction to jewellery making and are ideal for beginners. The aim is for people to discover their creative potential and learn some techniques they can continue to use at home. Our taster classes vary from a couple of hours to full day workshops, which include - silver earrings, pendants, rings - including stacking and spinner/ fidget rings and bangle making. These are great to do as a group - especially for hen do's. We also have classes which tie in with various events E.g. making roses for Valentines and creating Christmas ornaments and jewellery. |
Specialised Classes
Our specialised techniques based taster classes are for those with some jewellery making and soldering experience, and would like to learn more advanced techniques to enhance their jewellery making skills. Full day workshops include stone setting and various types of casting - including sand, cuttlefish, and organic casting, using unusual food stuffs like swirly shaped pastas, rough sea salt, frozen peas, and water casting. In other classes we play with enamels to add colour to your work. We also offer wax carving classes, so you can carve your own piece of jewellery which can be sent away to be cast in silver. |
Private One on One Tuition
We offer private lessons for all levels. Make your own bespoke jewellery pieces whilst learning skills in our fully equipped studio. Enjoy a unique personalised experience of one-on-one tuition with your tutor. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student, we can tailor your session to focus on what to you'd like to learn. If you have a particular project in mind, or a specific technique you hope to learn from the class. Your tutor can then plan a class specifically for you. We also offer classes for small groups for special events such as team building and hen do's. |
Silversmithing
People often get confused between a jeweller and a silversmith. As the name implies, a jeweller designs and creates all things jewellery related, but a silversmith is a metalworker who crafts objects and vessels from silver or other precious metals. E.g vases, containers, wine coasters, table flat wear and cocktail swizzle sticks It takes many years to learn and perfect some of the skills, like raising, chasing and repousse; but here at Metal and Flame, we will take you through some of the simpler aspects of silversmithing, by creating some decorative pieces, E.g a trinket box, tea light candle holders, wine coasters, or cocktail swizzle sticks. |
