Gold jewellery course for goldsmiths

This is a professional jewellery course (20 hours per week) that provides with an advanced knowledge of handcrafted jewellery using ancient goldsmith techniques.

This is a one-to-one course, where each trainee is personally followed by the master-craftsman in order to acquire skills through the creation of a jewel, realized in silver and entirely by hand.

Courses start every Monday (except during August), course materials are included.
