So if you have been following my weekly diary of my 5 week Wax Carving Evening Class at the London Jewellery School you will know that after week 1 and week 2 we are getting close to finishing our first projects and spent most of week 3 refining and finishing our designs so our waxes were as perfect as possible before being […]

So last week I posted about week 1 of my 5 week Wax Carving Evening Class at the London Jewellery School.  We have now had our second week of our class and it is fair to say that we were all getting into the swing of things and powering forward with our designs!  Some of us […]

I have been a silversmith for almost 7 years now, and have learned my trade exclusively through short courses including many of the London Jewellery School’s courses.  I love the fact that there is always a new skill or technique to learn in jewellery making as it is such a vast subject, and try and […]

Tutor Anna Campbell has recently taught a number of private tuitions for us. She makes the case for choosing a private tuition and gives the case study example of one of our private students   Title: Pieces made during a private tuition (by the tutee and tutor)   At the London Jewellery School we offer […]

Our lives seem to get busier by the day, but every now and again it is worth taking some time out to invest in yourself. Short courses not only give you the opportunity to do something totally different, but they can energise other areas of your life, and even in some cases lead to a […]

Some of you may have already seen me sitting behind the desk typing away in the LJS office.  I’m the Deputy Manager at the LJS studios and I also make my own jewellery, under the name of ‘Anvil and Ivy’.  Juggling a jewellery business and a job can be tricky, but I wouldn’t change a […]

Here at London Jewellery School HQ, we love nothing more than seeing our students flourish and grow on their Jewellery making journey.  But time and time again you were telling us that although you love our courses, you don’t always have time to attend a class in person.  Or that the dates and times of […]

We are so excited about London Jewellery School’s move to our bright new studios by Brick Lane that we have decided to share the celebrations with you. So we are offering a 20% discount on all day classes booked before midnight on 30 September 2014. And that doesn’t just mean classes taking place in September […]

The time has finally arrived for London Jewellery School to move to the studios near Brick Lane. So the last few days has seen the team packing and packing and, well packing. Followed by stating to unpack today in our new home. The move has taken over 100 packing boxes, a couple of miles of […]

The big move has happened. We are now in our fabulous new studios at 7 Hatton Square Business Centre, 16-16a Baldwins Gardens, London EC1N 7RJ. That’s the same building as before but now we are downstairs. The first class in the beading studio this morning was technical drawing for some of our Diploma students. The […]

The glimmers of Spring sunshine that are finally appearing have gladdened the hearts of the LJS team so much that we wanted to bring a little brightness into your lives as well. So we are offering 15% off all classes taking place between Wednesday 17 April and Sunday 5 May inclusive. There is a wide […]

As if moving to our new studio wasn’t enough excitement, we’re also launching a couple of brand new day classes – one in beading and wire and one in silver. Why not be among the first to sign up. New class 1: Beginners Wire Weaving Kerry Bloom, who recently joined LJS as a wire wrapping […]

It may not look like much yet but work has started on our new studios. It was very exciting to come in after the Easter break and see that the new walls, electrics and plumbing were in place. There is still plenty of work to do before we move from the current unit at the […]

If you are planning to visit the jewellery maker’s delight, the Big Bead Show at Sandown Racecourse in Surrey on 6 April why not book in for a jewellery class with our very own Chu-Mei Ho. Chu-Mei will be teaching two workshops – one each on fashion necklaces and chandelier earrings – and they are […]

There is a furious amount of list writing and planning going on at Jewellery School HQ right now – mixed in with quite a bit of excitement. It’s all because we’re moving to bigger premises which means more classes for you to enjoy. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to find us. We’ll be […]

Diploma in Creative Jewellery student Tracy Stressing explains how learning about design and mood boards has changed her perspective on the jewellery she creates. I have always had a passion for making jewellery and from the first week, I knew I was going to enjoy the diploma. But it is also challenging. In the first […]

Diploma in Creative Jewellery student Gary Schofield tells how his first day on the course was an inspiring step into the unknown Week one, first day; I find myself in an all-female environment, threading beads on strings, totally out of my comfort zone and terrified. Beading I believed, was not my penchant and most certainly […]

One of the great things about the Diploma in Creative Jewellery for the LJS team is seeing how different students use the materials and techniques they lean on the course. Although everyone follows the same curriculum and learns the same techniques, how they use them to interpret their own ideas can be very different. You […]

What will your jewellery look be this spring? Have you been looking to the catwalks for inspiration. At LJS we’ve been taking a look to see what’s leading the way. It seems for this spring and summer the key words are bright, big and bold. A browse through the magazine and fashion blogs brings up […]

2012 was an amazing year in London and at LJS, and there is no reason why 2013 shouldn’t be just as good. We are continuing to add new classes – such as hand stamped silver (see below) – alongside big favourites such as precious metal clay, silver and beading, so there are plenty of new […]
