Description

What you'll learn in this jewelry making class:

These classes are for students with no experience in jewelry production. The class meets 12 times and teaches you how to use different tools of jewelry production including sawing, soldering, hammering, polishing, and stone setting. With these different tools, students will produce their own jewelry.

We prepare some curriculum to learn basic jewelry making ideas including stone setting, wax carving, but our curriculum is flexible if you have any design idea. We have all tools and equipment and materials for the student so the student can start learning jewelry making without any investment for tools.

Important Things to Note:

  • If you want to use more expensive material such as gold and silver, you may purchase those in the classroom for extra.
  • If students want to use stones, there are some stones to sell for students but there are another stone dealers we can refer as well.
  • If you would like to bring your own stone to use, you may bring it and work with the instructor together to create the piece you want.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students of the Jewelry Making Beginner's Course describe it as a great experience that allows them to create a piece of jewelry from start to finish in a working designer's studio. They find the class to be fun, hard, educational, and inspiring. The instructor, Ayaka, is highly praised for being awesome, kind, and very talented. The class involves starting with silver sheets and tubing to make a ring, where the instructor assists with the tricky part of joining the pieces together with a torch. Students are responsible for the cutting, filing, and polishing. They feel that the end product and unique experience are worth it. They appreciate the hands-on nature of the class and loads of assistance provided and feel that it is great value for money as they come home with a beautiful ring as a keepsake and memory of the event. Direct Quotes: 1. "Very cool experience starting with silver sheets and tubing to make a ring. The instructor does the tricky part joining the pieces together with a torch, but the cutting, filing, and polishing are up to you." 2. "Totally loved the class - very hands-on with loads of assistance. Felt it was great value for money and came home with a beautiful ring as a great keepsake and memory of the event." 3.

Hello there, I travel and so would not be able to attend classes on the same day/time each week. Is it possible to take the class this way? In other words, taking each segment, but on different days or times when my travel takes me out of town.
