Gemma’s School of Jewellery
Manchester School of Jewellery
Various Dates Available
Discover your creative side and join our hands-on jewellery-making classes, perfect for beginners and anyone looking to learn something new. From rings and bangles to unique jewellery sets, each course will guide you through the entire process – from basic techniques to crafting your own wearable silver pieces to take home.
Make a Bangle in a Day
The course covers a multitude of skills; shaping, hammering, texturing and silver soldering. We will also teach students how to saw, file, shape bangles and finish silver work. Practice will begin using copper, with demonstrations given for the different skills, followed by time to apply these skills. Once the skills are refined, each person will make a sterling silver bangle from start to finish, and the bangle will be theirs to take away. There will be a choice of bangle wire shapes available to suit all.
Make a Silver Ring in a Day
The course covers a multitude of skills; shaping, hammering, texturing and silver soldering. We will also teach students how to saw, file, size rings and finish silver work. Practice will begin using copper, with demonstrations given for the different skills, followed by time to apply these skills. Once the skills are refined, each person will make a sterling silver ring from start to finish, and the ring will be theirs to take away.
Silver Jewellery Taster Sessions
Covering basic jewellery making skills, participants will be taught a variety of different jewellery skills (hammering, texturing, doming, stamping, soldering, finishing). Each participant will have completed a piece of wearable silver jewellery (pendant, studs or pin) by the end of the session. It is now possible to make personalised cufflinks in our taster session (£15 surcharge for the sterling silver cufflink findings).
Make a Matching Earring and Necklace Set
This new class covers a multitude of skills; shaping, hammering, stamping, texturing and silver soldering.
