Do I have to have any previous experience to take a jewellery class?

No.  We have structured classes so you can start at the very beginning and build up your skillset. 

Do I have to provide my own materials, tools or supplies?

All of the materials, tools and supplies are supplied and included in the cost of the course.  

Do I have to be creative to take your courses?

Since most of our classes are project-based with a set design, creativity is not essential and you will be taught the technical processes.

Will I finish the course with a completed piece of jewellery?

Our programs are designed so that each student leaves with a finished piece of jewellery. If all classes in the curriculum are attended and each step is successfully followed, every individual should leave with a beautiful piece(s) they created themselves.

Can I customize my design in the project based classes? (ex. Add gemstones, use a different metal, etc. )

Some of our classes allow more design freedom than others, depending on the course in question, it is best to ask the instructor at the start of the program. Generally, design freedom is welcomed if the customization does not require a different skill set to be taught to the individual student.

Can I use my own silver/gold?

All classes include materials needed to complete your project.  If the class, you are taking can utilize your own material (eg. Casting), then we would be happy to help you use it.  It would depend on the type of class.
