The Jewellery Workshop

Debbie Smith is a qualified jewellery maker and designer, specialising in silver. She has many years experience working within the industry and has now opened up her workshop for the benefit of students who wish to learn the techniques or improve on existing skills.

Small classes of up to five students allow personal coaching and ensure that all necessary safety measures and equipment use are learnt at an early stage.

Everyone has their own individual workbench and all tools are provided.

Six Week Beginners Courses initially run as a set programme to introduce the student to basic skills, and the opportunity to make some specific pieces of jewellery.

Students then progress to the Improver Course where they are encouraged to use their skills under expert tuition to produce individual pieces from their own designs.

One day courses are also available throughout the year as 'taster' days. These allow people to experience some of the skills and take home jewellery they have made on the day. Lunch is provided and all tools, materials and tuition are included.
