Give me the info…

Wait… WHAT? Level FIVE? Like, WOAH… Things are getting just so very awesome now! We just keep putting on more and more content for you, don’t we? You should be familiar with this by now - come learn things for four weeks, then you can happily make away under our supervision for the other four weeks. It’ll be good to see you back

Can I do this class?

If you have a fair bit of experience in jewellery making and have attended our Level Four course or have learned elsewhere, this is for you. If you are unsure just get in touch!

What happens?

Mitsuro Wax Taster Session

Melt, Draw-down and Recycle metal

Make a Copper Tealight Holder

Making a Rex-Setting

Do I need to bring anything?

We will email you our Level Five 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 the equipment needed plus the materials for the first four weeks. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools required to make jewellery. For your own projects, we always discuss your plans thoroughly and where to find everything you will need to complete them.

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?

Level Five classes are taken by Drew Markou, our amazing workshop manager!
