As a beginner, you will be taught some basic techniques for jewellery making. You will learn the foundation techniques of jewellery-making including different types of beads, jump rings, eye and head pins, types of stringing cord and wire, attaching clasps and using crimps. Potential projects during the course could be:
Work with memory wire to create bracelets and rings
Learn wire-wrapping techniques to make a beautiful gemstone pendant
Use seed beads and wire to make a flower design, to become a pendant or brooch
Customising, painting and setting glass cabochons to create your own unique pendants
Making your own beads using polymer clay
Relevant techniques will be demonstrated both individually and as a group and you will be fully supported by your tutor as you learn.
A College Certificate is awarded on request.
Learners can continue to attend our Jewellery courses, which will introduce new skills and allow learners to progress with their Jewellery making.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests! You can socialise with friends in the café and comfy seating areas, join a club or sports team or attend exciting events around the college. Many of our enrichment opportunities are also great on your CV or UCAS application to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm outside of your studies.
Your time at college can also be affected by life or health difficulties, and it’s okay to need support. Our specialist teams are here every day to listen and give advice, whether it’s about career planning, financial support, mental health, or something else. And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
