Members current and forthcoming courses

Yvonne Chadderton FGA
121 Jewellery Courses!
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at making jewellery but don’t have the time to sign up for weeks of evening classes? Come and stay at my house on the edge of the moors where you will use my workbench in the studio and have 121 tuition. As someone who has been designing and making jewellery for over 30 years, I can offer courses adapted to individual needs, from beginners and students wanting a “try out” session, to those with experience already who wish to develop their skills further. Couples can come and make each others wedding rings, creating a truly unique and special heirloom to be passed on to future generations.
