Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

Beginners and Improvers (those with some jewellery making experience).

An ability to read and follow instructions will be helpful as well as an ability to measure and do simple calculations. Jewellery making involves a lot of fine work so having steady hands will help.

  What can I do when I finish the course?

  Your tutor can advise you about further courses of study, including longer jewellery-making courses with Surrey Adult Learning.

You can also join other one, or two-day jewellery workshops which teach specialist topics, or a longer jewellery course to increase your skills, meet people with similar interests and make friends, or even to prepare to set up your own studio!
