Be honest - no matter where you’ve learned, did anyone really teach you finishing? Thought not. Most makers rely on the tumble polisher and hope for the best. But there’s so much more to it than that!

In this full-day Pro Class at Vanilla Ink CIC in Glasgow, we’ll show you how to finish like a pro, unlocking the techniques that transform rough metal into professional, show-stopping jewellery. You’ll learn how to achieve a flawless high polish, beautiful matte, satin, or oxidised finish, and truly understand what makes a piece feel finished.

But first things first: finishing is not the same as polishing. The art begins long before a mop or compound touches your metal. This class digs into the theories, tools, and processes that lead to consistently perfect results.
