Alexandra Road car park is a two minute walk from the studio (the postcode is DE11 8JL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eYour tutor:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been working as a jeweller and silversmith since I graduated from my degree in 2005, and began teaching early on as a means to support my practice, initially teaching an evening class at Hereford College of Art. I found that I love sharing my skills with people, so I wrote two books ('\u003ca href=\"\/products\/making-silver-jewellery-paperback\"\u003eMaking Silver Jewellery\u003c\/a\u003e' and '\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fold-forming-for-metalsmiths-jewellers-paperback\"\u003eFold Forming for Jewellers and Metalsmiths\u003c\/a\u003e’) and created my own range of jewellery making courses. I hope that if you join me here in the studio you will fall in love with this special craft just as I did when I first started making jewellery!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eClass size:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the small size of the studio, classes are for either one or two people. This means you will have plenty of specialist tuition from me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWho can attend:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI welcome all levels of ability including complete beginners.
