Head’s up – we’ve got two membership options available to best suit you: monthly and annual. If you’re unsure about signing up for a year’s worth of classes (commitment issues, totally get it), we suggest starting your jewellery making journey with a monthly plan. You can absolutely upgrade to an annual membership at a later date.

When signing up, remember that this is a membership – just like Netflix, but for cool jewellers. It’s a recurring fee and not a one-time payment, but we promise, we’ll never make you jump through hoops to cancel your plan. 

And lastly, please note that we are unable to process refunds if, for circumstances outside our control, you’re unable to fully utilise your subscription to the Metalsmith Academy – but we’re happy to help where we can so just reach out!

Are We The Right Fit For You?

Making jewellery is hard work! Learning to make jewellery is VERY hard work. It takes a lot of practice and patience, and the right attitude to keep going no matter what. Let’s see if the Metalsmith Academy will be the right fit for you:

 

Our membership is ideal for you:

  • If you’re new to jewellery making, and want a solid start, grounded with good techniques from beginning to end, we are here for you! We teach every project on an in-depth step-by-step basis so you can build your skills with confidence.
  • If you want to learn skills in a logical manner, where your next steps are clearly laid out for you, we’ve got your back. We invested a tonne of time into ensuring our classes lead naturally to the next, so you can spend more time working on projects you love, and less time repeating mindless exercises over and over.
  • If you want to learn how to make jewellery while having fun and working on unique projects, we got you. But we want you to not only concentrate on creating beautiful jewellery, we want to make sure you’re creating stuff that’s durable and technically sound too.
  • If you’re not a fan of waffle and filler material – Oh man, we really have you there. Our videos are 100% filler-free! No waffle here.
  • If you have been making jewellery for a while but want to learn more tips, tricks and techniques, then you are in the right place. There is more than one way to do everything, and we want you to find what works best for you.
  • If you have the basics techniques down, but you really need to up your creativity. Not only are all our classes project-based, but they leave room for you to get creative too. But if your creativity needs a little extra work too, we have you covered with our bi-monthly Creative Kickstarter Challenges.
  • If you have a passion, and you are willing to put in a lot of effort into turning your ideas into reality, then we are here to support you! We’ll cheer you on in the good times and have a good bitch with you when things don’t go quite to plan. But we’ll always encourage you to put on your big girl/boy pants and get right back to it!

Our membership might not be a good fit:

  • If you don’t understand that this journey will take a lot of effort and practice. If you think watching a video once will enable you to be a successful jeweller, you might not be a good fit here. Anything worth doing requires practice and repetition to a certain extent. There is no quick solution to this, you will have to try some techniques over and over again before they click. But when they do, it's the best feeling in the world - and well worth the effort!
  • If you are someone who can’t deal with failure. Failures will happen, that is a guarantee. But, we learn way more from our failures than successes and they are part of the learning process. But if failure causes an emotional meltdown for you, then you probably aren’t a good fit for our classes…. We actively encourage you to experiment and fail as you try to figure out what works best for you.
  • If you think making jewellery is going to make you a millionaire, we probably aren’t for you. You can earn a decent living making jewellery, but please be dubious of anyone promising to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
  • If you aren’t willing to take it slowly and work on perfecting techniques before rushing ahead to the next, then we probably aren’t able to help you. All our classes build on previous lessons learnt, but there is a logical progression. There is no way on earth you can skip ahead to making Bulgari style jewellery in your first week. That’s not to say don’t push yourself, but we would rather you do a great job on something simple, than a hack job on something that looks fabulous (from a long distance away!).
