Creative Jewellery Workshop – C7467

This course is for adults aged 19+. In a practical workshop to give you an experience of basic jewellery making.
Leicester College has a professional jewellery making workshop equipped with industry-standard tools and workbenches.

This is a two-day course filled with many of the processes used in traditional jewellery making. The sessions will provide a basic introduction.
We will cover the use of a range of metalsmithing tools using techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, hammering, rolling, annealing and finishing.

Year 1

The first session will cover processes and tools through group demonstration. You will be able to practice and get hand-on experience during this time. The second session will use those techniques to create a sample piece of jewellery such as a pendant, ring, bangle, or brooch.
This course is intended to be a hobby course so there is quite a bit of freedom if you had an idea and this can be discussed further with your tutor.

No formal qualifications required which is ideal for complete beginners who would like to try out metalsmithing are welcome as are those with a limited understanding.

At the start of the course you will decide with your tutor your goals for the course. They will be unique to you and your project. You are not assessed and there are no exams, but you may be set personal targets by the tutor. A certificate of attendance will be issued.
