My jewellery education 2011

I do like to think all my options through and so have spent a lot of time thinking about how best to complete my Higher Metal Clay Diploma , mostly at Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery. The diploma is made up of the following seven parts Art Clay level 1 Art Clay level 2 Introduction to Bronze and Copper Clay Grade 1 Metal Clay for beginners Grade 2 Metal Clay Intermediate Skills Grade 3 Metal Clay Advanced Grade 4 Metal Clay Design and Construction There is an alternate grade 4 class called 'Teaching Metal Clay Effectively'. I have no doubt that I would learn from this but as a qualified teacher with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education in the Post Compulsory and Training sector I already have a higher qualification. Plus I have ten years experience as a teacher. I feel the design and construction module is going to be a lot more challenging for me and so I have decided to do that. I have already completed my Art Clay Level 1 at the London Jewellery School so only 6 courses

Jessica at the London Jewellery School

I have enjoyed attending classes at the London Jewellery School this year. I have always had excellent, experienced tutors and they have a wide variety of courses available. I have just watched a BBC programme which featured the founder of the London Jewelery School which I found very inspiring. She has achieved a lot at a young age. The LJS is expanding and I am confident that the location (in Hatton Garden) and the number of diverse classes will ensure it remains popular. I had posted a link to the programme but unfortunately it is no longer available to view on BBC iplayer so I have removed the link.
