BRAND NEW!
Practice Projects
Downloadable handouts feature engaging projects tailored to enhance the skills learned in our classes at the Metalsmith Academy.
When it comes to online jewellery making classes, we know you need the details
Crystal Clear Videography
With exceptionally close up videography to show you nitty gritty stuff, full screen shots to help you understand scale and how we’re using the jewellery making tools, and our obsessive commitment to never meandering off camera. We’ve got you covered.
Detailed Explanations
As with any jewellery, it’s important to understand the small details in jewellery making. In order to truly “get it” though, we have to understand not only the how, but also the why. We’re also pretty keen on sharing what not to do too – it does come in pretty damn handy!
Full Colour handouts
As well as creating hours of waffle-free videos, we’ve also put together a detailed handout with over 50 pages of glorious full-colour photos – so you can get the practice you need even when not online. Sorry to break it to you, but this one is going to really need it!
Want to Learn How to Make Jewellery?
Start with why!
By understanding the why and not just the how, learning to make quality jewellery can be so much simpler.
Our number one mission is to make sure you understand why we do things the way we teach. And of course, to make your jewellery making journey as uncomplicated, waffle-free and fun as possible.

- You’ve spent hours trying to come up with designs, but you just seem to get stuck with creative block
- You’ve taken in person classes, but you honestly still don’t understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.
- You’re struggling to stay motivated, and your mojo is on strike!
- You just want to enjoy learning again
- You’re sick of watching hours of videos for 5 minutes of information
Our friends at the metalsmith academy used to feel that way too!
Hi I’m Lucy…

Yes you will need specific tools for this class, we have included a basic tool list above, and the course contains detailed tool handouts together with product codes for all tools used during the class.
Unfortunately, we can’t provide a specific answer to that questions. It depends on the tools you decide to purchase and the quality. We try to include as many options as possible in our classes so that student’s can make choices based on their budget, but we will be honest, tools are not cheap.
The videos are only playable through the website and so are not downloadable.
Absolutely you can! It would be pretty tough to work with your laptop on your workbench.
If you do want that little extra support, don’t worry at all – that is one of the main reasons why we launched our membership. Lucy, Vennice and the team will be active in the forums daily to help with any problems you might be having with the classes.
This class is the best place to start!
Yes, all our videos have automatic closed captions in English enabled as an option.
