JEWELLERY MAKING COURSES IN FRANCE

Jewellery Courses

Mark spent 10 years working as a qualified jeweller in the UK, and wanted to offer jewellery making courses where people could combine a 'craft' holiday or weekend along with the other activities in the area. Having converted part of one of the barns within the grounds of Le Villard into a jewellery workshop, anyone can come and learn some of the skills needed in making hand-made gold and silver jewellery.

What do the courses consist of?
Getting married, special anniversary or birthday, or just fancy learning a new skill..

From wedding rings, pendants and necklaces to bracelets and brooches and earrings, you can learn and practice the basic techniques of working with gold and silver. Courses are designed with the complete beginner in mind and also those with a little previous experience.

Each course is very much based around "getting your hands dirty" and you will be surprised at how quickly you pick up the skills needed to produce simple but stunning pieces. Each person will get the chance to produce one or two pieces to take home with you and impress your family and friends!! For the more creative amongst us, bring a design with you and we will do our best to produce it before you leave.

Courses are flexible depending on the pieces to be made but generally run from Friday to Monday and are available all year round.

Two day course- Wedding rings, bangles, pendants, earrings

Three day course - Chain bracelets, cutting out and piercing
