Introduction to Essential Jewellery Design & Production – 4hr Course.
This course is for the beginner who has no immediate knowledge of jewellery making or bench skills to gain an understanding of the 3 main areas of jewellery production; Design, Casting, Mounting to finish.
It will guide you on considering fastenings, findings and settings that are all a very important part of the design process.
Obtaining an understanding of the whole process from beginning to end will be of benefit to anyone without actual making skills who wishes to make Jewellery. Advise on where to get the best prices for 3d printing and casting etc. is also included. Book your course via bespokejewellerytraining.co.uk or fill in the form below.
What the student was looking for in taking this 4hr course:
I am working on my own jewellery designs which eventually I plan to outsource production. I am not a maker – I am looking at practical ways to understand what limitations and possibilities I should be considering when designing my pieces based on the formal production process, rather than undertaking a silversmithing course etc. as I don’t plan to hand craft or get my jewellery produced in that way. I have conducted research into multiple ‘introduction to jewellery’ courses, however seem to find maker courses, and no formal introduction into essential components of jewellery making and design possibilities based on the pragmatic’s of technological production, the engineering behind production beyond the hand crafted element of design/maker processes. The ‘How Jewellery is Designed & 3D Printed’ course sounds like exactly what I am looking for – a view into production methodology for me as a designer to take onboard and consider during my creative process.

CAD Course for Beginners / Intermediates in Rhino
3 day course.
The Beginners CAD course is given on three different occasions on requested dates, preferably over weekends. It will cover the Rhino tools and commands that you need to know in order to make basic solid shapes. You will gain an understanding of the interface and how Rhino uses points, lines, surfaces and solids to create printable 3D objects.
This course is a great way to play with ideas and be able to create repetitive and complex geometric shapes and/or produce minimalist and elegant jewellery after only a weeks intense training. The course will also enable you to quickly sketch and compare different ideas in terms of size, weight-calculations and look. At the end of the CAD courses we usually explore rendering possabilities through KeyShot, creating realistic visuals of your designs pre-manufacture.
Topics in the CAD courses include:
- Setting up the user interface and layer palette
- Points, Lines, Curves, Solids and how they correlate
- Turning curves and lines into solids and complex geometry through repetition
- Using text to create and engrave
- Minimum thickness and other limitations – Things to consider when casting items
- Meshing, checking and exporting – Making objects ready for the 3d printer
- Different 3D printers, different materials, different prices, different qualities

Hi,
Apologies on the delayed response, my family went on a holiday immediately after my course so I’ve been a bit unplugged.
I had a great experience with my CAD course with Sebastian. He was very friendly, professional, and accomodating. I felt like he was very well prepared and good at tailoring his teaching style a bit once he understood my learning style.
I would give him a rating of 5.
I am now working on deciding how I would like to proceed, I will be in touch with you to book more courses once I’ve gotten everything sorted:)
Cheers,
Jess
