Give me the info…
This is an intense Weekend Session which is designed to give you further insight into the world of jewellery making. Our Level Two weekend classes are split into AM and PM sessions each lasting three hours. A step up from Level One, the learned techniques become more advanced and complex but also more fun!
We know that not everyone can commit to the same morning or evening spread over two months, so now’s your chance to swing that hammer and learn the craft you’ve been dreaming of for years!
This class differs from the Block Classes as it’s solely for learning and doesn’t lead onto making your own projects. This allows us to give you a really intense burst of training, cramming in as much as we can rather than being a bit more mellow over the eight weeks. We will also be working exclusively in silver, rather than training in copper. This will mean you’ll leave with LOADS of top-class fine jewellery by the Sunday evening.
You will then have the option to move on to Level Three as you progress. Get you!
Can I do this class?
Of course you can! Maybe you’ve been through our Level One course or studied somewhere else and don’t need to go over the basics. This is the weekend class for you. It is your destiny. Listen to your heart.
What happens?
Sat PM - Water casting
Sun AM - Etching
Sun PM - Enamelling
Do I need to bring anything?
We will email you our Level Two Manual ahead of the class, please bring this digitally or printed out. Also a sketchbook or something for taking notes etc.
You don’t need to bring anything with you as we will provide all equipment. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools and materials required to make jewellery.
Please wear long hair tied up [or bring something to do so], don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.
If you need glasses to see things close up, please bring them with you. Making jewellery is fiddly!
Who is teaching me?
One of our fantastic tutors will show you the ropes. They are a great bunch who are super passionate about teaching, you’ll love them! We guarantee it!
