Private Jewellery Tuition

Our private tuition is a popular option for students that prefer a one-on-one learning style. You can book a half day or a full day workshop. 

Learn to carve waxes for casting, focus on your soldering skills, learn to solder fiddly items such as jump rings, earring posts and claw settings.

Use a rolling mill to emboss patterns into silver, such as a leaf or create a specific piece of jewellery such as a bezel setting for an unusual shaped stone.

You can also focus on texturing metal and discovering different finishes and polishing techniques (this is something a lot of students have trouble with). 

Some of the skills you can learn during private lessons are:

• Lost wax carving
• Navajo Style Rings 
• Earring, bangle, ring or pendant making 
• Chain Making 
• Creating unusual findings for jewellery 
• Embossing patterns into silver using a rolling mill
• Acid Etching

• Gem setting techniques
• Bezel setting odd shaped crystals or gemstones
• Electroforming
