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 on 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!
From here you can then go on to our entry-level Professional Classes, like Basic Stone Setting, Finishing School and Wax Carving, etc. You’ve got enough skills to cope admirably with these sessions.
Can I do this class?
Those with experience in jewellery making and have attended our previous courses or have learned elsewhere. Having done our Level Three course [or equivalent] is a must. If you are unsure just get in touch!

What do I need to bring?
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 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!
At this time we can’t let you borrow our aprons, you are advised to bring your own if you want to protect your clothes.
Due to current protocols, students will need to wear a face-covering [unless they are exempt]. You will be sent the most up to date and clear instructions ahead of the class. Unfortunately, we cannot provide refreshments at this time but please feel free to bring your own water bottles/juice or a flask of tea/coffee.
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 extremely talented tutors. Lucky you!
