Tools of the trade!

I run day courses for students with all levels of ability. Some courses are technique based, for example setting or piercing, and some focus on a type of jewellery, i.e.; rings or lockets.

Visit the Jewellery Workshop Dates page for a full list and to book!

The courses are run from my rural North Herefordshire studio. I teach several courses and also have other jewellery professionals take classes too based on their own specialisms. However, I am always involved as I love seeing what students are working on!

The classes are always great fun, and you can see for yourself the fantastic pieces that students have made by visiting the student gallery. I aim to provide students with a relaxed atmosphere to make and learn new skills, while being an enjoyable and sociable day too.

Have a look at the feedback section to see what students have said about previous courses.

If you would like to have a day of one-to-one tuition the cost is £150. This can provide more focused learning to students needs and you will certainly learn more as you have complete attention. To discuss your ideas please get in touch.

Here is a bit more info about my courses:

A student in action!

• Maximum 4 students per class to allow for plenty of one-to-one tuition.
• Tea and coffee will be supplied (please bring a packed lunch).
• We have parking at the studio.
• Refunds can be given up until 3 weeks in advance, and then only if another student can take your place.
• For health and safety reasons please provide your own apron, wear closed toe shoes and be prepared to tie long hair back.

If you are travelling to attend a course and are looking for local accommodation, I can highly recommend Grendon Manor in Bredenbury.

Please note: I am ocassionally asked by students if they can come on a workshop and make one of my designs that they have seen online or at a show. This is not possible. It takes many years to prefect the design and also years of skill to be able finish a piece to the high standard I expect of my own work. Therefore my signature designs will only be made by my own hands!

For this reason, please do not ask us to help you copy the work of other jewellers. It is not fair and breaking copyright rules!
