What is the Programme Content?
The course will be extremely practical and hands-on. For most classes there will be a short demonstration at the beginning followed by plenty of time for you to develop the technique to your own design ideas.
Who is it for?
For people with an interest in designing and making their own jewellery or decorative art. I would also be suitable for anyone who is interested in developing skills in a different art form. Good hand to eye co-ordination and attention to detail are helpful attributes for this course.
What prior experience and knowledge do I need?
Absolutely no previous experience is necessary as this is a course aimed at complete beginners. We will try to accommodate those who are a little more advanced.
What materials or equipment do I need to provide?
You will need to pay an additional £30 materials costs at the start of each term. This will cover all materials and tools needed to complete the course. (If you particularly want to work in Sterling Silver there will be an additional cost to be arranged with your tutor – other than that everything is included in the £30 initial payment).
What materials or equipment do we provide to you?
All materials will be provided from the one off £30 materials payment which is included in the courses fee.
How will I be assessed?
Your tutor will carry out very regular, informal assessments of your work. Feedback will be given to help you develop knowledge and skills to improve your work. You will set your own personal goals, and your tutor will give regular written feedback on those too.
Is the programme accredited?
No.
