Jewellery Design and Rendering
Getting creative with jewellery designing
Hey, it’s Vennice here! Let’s get to my favourite part of jewellery making: design and rendering. In these classes, I’ll be guiding you step by step through the design process, covering all the basics up to perfecting those more elaborate projects. Get excited, because together we’ll be building your confidence in rending jewellery with plenty of practice and support!
In these classes, you'll get to...
- Gain confidence with shading and rendering techniques
- Become familiar with basic rendering tools
- Understand how to render on different surfaces
- Learn how to render with different metals
- Gain confidence using coloured pencils
- Learn how to draw brilliant-cut gemstone
- Understand that highlights and cast shadows are truly magic
- Learn how to collaborate gemstones with jewellery
- Tips and tricks for jewellery design and rendering

Why we created these classes: So, you've got ideas in your head, but you don't quite know how to put (coloured) pencil to paper. We want to give you all the tools and practice opportunities so you can shade and render like a pro, while we also school you on a game-changing lesson on highlights and cast shadows.



Practice makes perfect, which is why we included over 100 royalty free designs for you to practice within the Metalsmith Academy. You can even combine our other techniques to create your own design (also included in your membership).
As a Metalsmith Academy member, not only do you get access to this class and all our online jewellery making classes, you'll also have access to so much more including...

A note on tools
The list can go on and on for tool requirements depending on your budget, and we will include a variety of possibilities in our downloadable handouts and during the tutorials. However, we want to make our projects available to everyone irrespective of budget so for the most part we will try not to get too flashy with the essential tools. Please note that we provide you the colour pencil code in the everyday class, you can purchase the colour pencil individually and so we strongly recommend watching the course videos before going out on any crazy shopping sprees.

What our Metalsmith Academy members are saying
5 stars all the way, looks a bit suspect right? Just to make sure, I’d suggest Google reviews too!

Frequently Asked Questions
As many times as you like as long as your subscription is active
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!
Unfortunately not at this stage, however our handouts that accompany the videos have extensive, easy to follow instructions.
