What you'll learn

Learn to make your own silver jewellery with our jewellery making courses in Sydney!

This is our Beginners Jewellery Workshop, an introduction to the jewellery studio and metalworking.

This beginners studio gives students the opportunity to learn the basic metal working skills needed for making simple jewellery pieces in the jewellery workshop.

It is a small, intimate class where our professional and passionate jeweller will teach you how to work with metal safely. You will be introduced to different tools and equipment used in silver jewellery making, and will learn basic jewellery techniques that will equip you with a basic skill-set that gets you started and you can build on.

The lesson will focus on creating your own ring out of brass, copper or silver by using the techniques learned in class such as metal cutting and ring forming, soldering, and texturing.
