silversmithing

This class is for those who already have a knowledge of Silversmithing and jewellery making or have completed our beginner’s course. 

Overview


Nicola will work alongside you to achieve personal projects as well as teaching higher skilled techniques such as flush and tube setting, making a trinity ring and a seasonal decoration.

Base metals are supplied to get you started. Students will have the opportunity to purchase and work with their own precious materials. You will be advised of any additional materials that you might require, based on how your personal project develops.

About the Tutor


Nicola joined as Jewellery Design lecturer at HCA in January 2024, and has been teacher on the HCA silversmithing short-courses since 2020. Nicola graduated in 2015 with a first class bachelor degree in contemporary design, and has held her contemporary jewellery business since then; working for galleries and to commission alongside teaching. In 2023, Nicola completed her Master’s in contemporary craft during which she expanded scales into sculptural silversmithing. Nicola’s creative practice revolves around embodiment of human experience; combining a refined and geometric aesthetic with captured flow and movement within metal.
