This is an eight-week evening block which is designed to give you a deeper look and awareness into the world of jewellery making. Level Three sessions are consecutive weekly classes each lasting three hours. Another step up from the Level Two Jewellery Making course, it's designed to help advance your knowledge and broaden your skillset. In the first four weeks, you will learn even more complex 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. How decadent!

From here you can then go on to Level Four & Five jewellery making or even our entry-level Professional Classes, like Basic Stone Setting, Finishing School and Wax Carving, etc. You’re so talented! Can’t make the weekly classes? We have Summer School 3 which is the Level Three block in one full week.

Can I do this class?

If you have a wee bit of experience in jewellery making and have attended our Level One and Level Two course or have learned elsewhere, this is for you. If you are unsure just get in touch!

What do I need to bring?

We will email you our Level Three 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 Three classes are taken by a mix of tutors, depending on their skillset. You’ll get to spend time with a blend of our wonderful tutors. Lucky you!
