Advanced Techniques

You should be comfortable at an intermediate level — meaning you've completed at least one structured jewelry workshop (with us or elsewhere), or have spent significant time teaching yourself the basics. You should be able to use bench tools without hesitation and understand the properties of common metals and wire gauges.

No. Advanced classes assume prerequisite knowledge and move at a pace that would be overwhelming for beginners. If you're new to jewelry making, please start with our Beginner Classes — they're designed to build exactly the foundation you'll need before stepping into advanced sessions.

All professional tools are provided — including torches, rolling mills, gravers, pitch bowls, and specialist finishing equipment. Metal and stones are included in the class price unless otherwise stated. Some classes allow you to bring your own stones; contact us to discuss specific needs.

Maximum 6 students. This is non-negotiable — advanced techniques require close, personalised supervision that isn't possible in larger groups. When classes sell out, we add waitlists and open new dates rather than increasing student numbers.

Absolutely, and we encourage it. Many of our most accomplished students have taken 4–6 different advanced sessions over a year, building a truly professional toolkit. We can help you plan a curriculum based on your interests and goals.

Full refund if cancelled 10+ days before class. 50% studio credit for 5–10 days notice. No refund within 5 days, but we may be able to transfer your booking to a future date in genuine emergencies. Advanced classes are more expensive to run, so we appreciate maximum notice.
