Level One Weekend


  • Vanilla Ink Jewellery School CIC 3rd Floor, Brook Street Studios, 60 Brook Street Bridgeton Glasgow, G3 8ND (map)

Want to learn to make jewellery? You’ve come to the right place! This is a short, sharp version of our eight-week block that allows you to learn the basics of making jewellery in just one weekend!

We know that not everyone can commit to the same morning or evening spread over two months, so now’s your chance to pick up your saw and learn the craft you’ve been dreaming of for years!

This Weekend Session caters for the straight-up novice, completely new to the industry and ready to begin their jewellery journey. Within this class, you will learn about the tools required for jewellery making as well as being shown how to use them in a safe and proper manner. You’ll be briefed on the techniques that are needed to get you through the beginnings of jewellery making.

Each day is split into an AM and PM session, where you’ll focus on each of the four techniques catered for within Level One. It’s like the greatest hits of jewellery spread over two days. This class differs from the Block Classes as it’s solely for learning and doesn’t lead to making your own projects. This allows us to give you a really intense burst of training, cramming in as much as we can rather than being a bit more mellow over the eight weeks. We will also be working exclusively in silver, rather than training in copper. This will mean you’ll leave with LOADS of top-class fine jewellery by the Sunday evening.

You will then have the option to move on to Level Two and Three as you progress. Get you! If you’re looking for something in between these two classes, then why not consider our Summer Schools which are still condensed but allow you to practice your own projects over a week?
