Private Tuition
Class Level:
Beginners, intermediate and advanced. In a 1:1 session you’ll be guided through the traditional techniques and tools of silver jewellery making and come away with your very own hand crafted piece to treasure forever. Work on your own designs or choose a technique from the vast range of workshops available in our school. About: Enjoy a unique personalised experience of one-on-one tuition with your tutor; and learn to make your own bespoke jewellery pieces whilst learning new skills in our fully equipped studio. Before your session, we will discuss if you have a particular project in mind, or what technique you hope to learn from the class. Your tutor can then plan a class specifically for you. You may have no specific goal in mind, but merely want to learn to work with metal. For beginners, you will learn how to pierce (saw) your design out of sheet metal, how to solder, texture, file and polish your design. Depending on the length of time you have booked, you could go home with at least one piece of wearable jewellery. For intermediates and advanced, we can tailor your session to exactly what you would like to focus on. Time needed It will depend totally on what you wish to make. For an idea of time frames have a look at the various taster workshops to get an idea of what is needed. But as a rough idea, in a 2 hour session you could expect to complete 2 stacking rings, or a solid textured band. In a 3 hour session you could complete a few stacking rings and include either an accent or bezel stone setting included. In a 3 or 4 hour session you could make a more complex pieces of jewellery and learn more challenging stone setting techniques. Please contact me for a time frame needed to create your design - whether it is a bangle, rings or pendants. I can teach you everything we have already featured on our website.
