There’s something special about creating something with your hands. It’s an opportunity to lose yourself – a meditative form of self-expression that gives you a break from the usual hustle and bustle of life. Jewellery-making classes not only allow you to escape for a couple of hours, but you’ll also get a unique piece you’ll treasure forever.
If you’re stuck for gift ideas, gifting a jewellery-making class is perfect for Mother’s Day, a milestone birthday, a wedding present, or an anniversary.
Involving your friends or family in making jewellery creates lasting memories, and you’ll have so much fun! And whenever someone admires your beautiful jewellery, you’ll have a great story to share.
Claire Brooks Studio offers a range of classes depending on your skills and interests. A top priority for me when teaching, regardless of whether you’ve taken a class before or not, is to create a welcoming atmosphere.
I’ll encourage you to learn the techniques of jewellery-making and explore your personal jewellery aesthetic, so that you end up with a high-quality piece you’ll want to wear every day.
Everyone has their own unique taste when it comes to style, which is what makes jewellery so exciting! You have the freedom to express your personality through your chosen piece.
If you’ve never tried your hand at jewellery-making before, Claire Brooks Studio Gallery is a great place to start. Each of my classes offer something different depending on what skills you’re interested in learning, and the kind of jewellery you’d like to make (i.e. a ring, bangle, necklace, or earrings). You can access more information and the full class list here.
Introduction to organic casting
Have the freedom to make a variety of pieces, whether they be rings, earrings, or a necklace using organic treasures from your garden.
You’ll learn fundamental jewellery-making skills while also exploring how to best utilise your foliage for casting.
This class allows you to take a day for yourself and create a beautiful pair of unique earrings. You’ll learn how to design, pierce, file, and shape your earrings in just one day!
This popular class sees you design a bangle, carve it out of wax which is then used as a mould, and once it’s back from our specialist casting company it’s transformed into your own beautiful design.
Claire Brooks Studio also caters to those who might have already completed a class and are inspired to learn more. For the experienced jeweller ready to design their own pieces we offer Studio Time. This 7-week course will see you take your skills to the next level with the help of an experienced tutor.
Claire Brooks Studio also offers one-on-one private tuition, perfect for those who want more intensive instruction to develop their jewellery-making skills. With private tuition in our relaxed and supportive studio, you’ll reach your full creative and technical potential.
