announcing the jewellers retreat
I am beyond excited to share with you a secret we’ve been keeping for a few months now…
We’ve made a jewellery making series!
For you! And we can’t wait for you to watch
Check out the trailer …
In July this year, I invited three Jewellers Academy Diploma students to my home for the first ever ‘Jewellers Retreat’. Over three days, the students made three different jewellery projects under time constraints. But don’t worry, we had some mentors on hand to advise the students when they needed it.
Expect different design styles, dreamy tools, gold and silver, gemstones, jewellery and business tips, and some drama when things don’t go to plan...
The first of our three episodes premieres on YouTube on Wednesday 22nd December at 8pm and then will be on Wednesdays at the same time for the next two weeks. We’d love you to join us live to watch alongside us. We’ll be in the YouTube chat waiting to connect with you and hear what you think. (There will be some prizes available for those that join us live for the premiere too!).
And maybe next time it will be you on the show ....
Subscribe now to our youtube channel at www.jewellersacademy.com/retreat and click ‘set reminder’ to be notified when the show premieres.
If in doubt, put a reminder on your phone now so you don’t miss it.
Meet the Jewellers!
