Advanced Course/Level 4 This is a continuation of our Beginner's and Intermediate courses. You will continue furthering your skill set by learning several techniques which are outlined below. For level 3, you must have completed either our level 1 & 2 courses, or have some experience with saw piecing and soldering. During this course, we will be teaching you different techniques; however, unlike our Beginners course, where you had set pieces to work on - each student will use the new techniques being taught as well as incorporating previously learned skills into their own designs. Everybody has different tastes and design ideas, so this is a time to use your design skills. 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. |

Our Workshop:
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 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 complete soldering station with soldering turntable, two hand held torches and various tweezers, picks and third hands. They also each have their own 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.
We can only accommodate 5 students in our classes; therefore early booking is essential.
For students under 18, you will need a parent's consent to attend these classes.
Any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy at - Email: [email protected] or Phone: 07814 883 443
