What to expect in this course:
Advanced Course/Level 3
This is a continuation of the Level 1 and Level 2 courses. You will continue furthering your skill set by learning several different techniques which are outlined below. For level 3, you must have either completed our level 1 & 2 courses, or have some experience with saw piecing and soldering.
During our term classes we also run demonstrations which are either relevant to student projects or to those who have requested a certain technique.
We are very much here to support your development. The more terms you complete with us, the more time you have to develop a wide range of skills and a good understanding of the industry as a whole. This time honoured profession takes time and practice to perfect your skills and techniques.
This unisex class which is held in our Liverpool workshop, is a great environment to develop your creativity and do something fun with like-minded people. It also offers the opportunity to make lovely original gifts, or may even be the start of a new career.
Each student bench has its own complete set of hand tools which comprise a set of various pliers - including parallel pliers, files - both needle and flat, dividers, a ring clamp, ring mandrel, rawhide hammer and more. Each bench also has its own a complete soldering station with turntable, two hand held torches and various tweezers and a third hand. They also each have a quick release Foredom pendant drill and an overhead light with magnifier.
The workshop also has a larger tool section - such as a rolling mill, hydraulic press, pillar drill and bench grinder and polisher. Although each bench has its own soldering station, we also have a large dedicated solder station. This has two large Sievert gas torches, as well as a Smiths Little torch for all our casting workshops or for those large pieces of jewellery which need more heat than a hand held torch can deliver.
For students under 18, you will need a parent's consent to attend these classes.
We can only accommodate 5 students in our classes, therefore early booking is essential.
Any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy at: [email protected]
