Jewellery making courses

This year I created a brand new strand of membership called Makers Membership. This is designed for you if you would love to learn more jewellery making techniques.

At the beginning of 2020, I had not planned on offering this but when lockdown hit, so many of you were in touch about wanting to try to stay creative. And although a lot has changed since then there are still lockdowns around the world so I have opened up this tier of membership again for those who want it.

is this for me?

This is for you if you would like to learn jewellery making, brush up on what you already know or learn more advanced techniques.
Or all of the above!

It is the most affordable way to get access to all 21 of the individual jewellery making courses* available here at Jewellers Academy.
That is all of our silver jewellery, gold jewellery, polishing and finishing, wax carving, metal clay and beading and wire courses. Plus any new making courses that are released while you are a member.

It is a great option for those who want to focus on the making and are not interested at this time in starting a jewellery business.

*Does not include Diploma courses
