Level Three? Completed it, mate! Now I want MORE! This block is yet another deep dive into the world of jewellery making. Level Four sessions are consecutive weekly classes each lasting three hours. Adding to your already impressive skill set, it's designed to quench your thirst and give you the content you crave. In the first four weeks, you will learn new and exciting processes, then after that, you will then be given personal tuition on designing and creating your own pieces in the second half of the block. Absolutely beyond thrilling lads!

Do I need to bring anything?

We will email you our Level Four Manual ahead of the class, please bring this digitally or printed out. Also a sketchbook or something for taking notes etc.

You don’t need to bring anything with you as we will provide all the equipment needed plus the materials for the first four weeks. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools required to make jewellery. For your own projects, we always discuss your plans thoroughly and where to find everything you will need to complete them.

Please wear long hair tied up [or bring something to do so], don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.

If you need glasses to see things close up, please bring them with you. Making jewellery is fiddly!

Who is teaching me?

Level Four classes are taken by a mix of tutors, depending on their skillset. You’ll get to spend time with a blend of our awesome team. Lucky you!
