GIVE ME THE INFO…

Welcome to Vanilla Ink’s Summer School Two. This week we invite students who have already started their journey into jewellery-making to revise their practice and skills in the second of our Summer School courses. The week is based on our Level Two Jewellery Making course except condensed into five days. The session will be a week-long intensive look at processes, techniques and skills designed to increase your ability and confidence before heading back to college, uni or your own bench. It is an intense course designed to revitalise and rejuvenate the memory while brushing up on skills and preparing for your next round of learning.

The week is split into two, with the first few days spent learning introductory jewellery techniques, then for the rest of the session, you will be supported in making your own collections. Sounds fancy!

You will then have the option to move on to Summer School Three as you progress. Get you! Can’t make the Summer School? We have options! You can try our Level Two Block Class or Weekend Session. Nothing wrong with mixing and matching.

CAN I DO THIS CLASS?

Why yes, you absolutely can! Maybe you’ve been through our Level One course or studied somewhere else and don’t need to go over the basics. Come join us.

WHAT HAPPENS?

Make a Pair of Statement Earrings
Enamelling Taster Session
Water Casting
Etching

DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?

We will email you our Summer School Manual ahead of the class, please bring this digitally or printed out. Also a sketchbook or something for taking notes etc.

You don’t need to bring anything with you as we will provide all equipment needed plus the materials for the first few days. Everyone will have their own bench with access to all the tools required to make jewellery. For your own projects, we always discuss your plans thoroughly and where to find everything you will need to complete them. Your tutor will sit with you to talk through your projects before we order everything for the whole class. We’re good to you.

Please wear long hair tied up [or bring something to do so], don’t wear open-toed shoes and keep loose-fitting clothing to a minimum.

If you need glasses to see things close up, please bring them with you. Making jewellery is fiddly!

WHO IS TEACHING ME?

Our Summer Schools are taken by one of our amazing tutors. They’re happy on both the inside and the outside. Incredible.
