Nottingham Jewellery School was established in 2014 and moved to it’s current home in 2019. Our independent school is run by a team of specialist jewellery tutors, led by Alys Power, offering  recreational and vocational classes. We work with students at all levels from complete beginners to professional makers. We have a fully stocked and professionally equipped jewellery studio, 5 minutes outside Nottingham city centre. Classes are half days, full days and termly courses and are held throughout the week – daytime and evening.

NOTTINGHAM JEWELLERY SCHOOL – STUDIO

Our workshop is in the Hartley Business Centre. Our ex-industrial building is a busy hub of small businesses and we are fortunate to have lots of creative neighbours there. Our work shop is on the second floor with lift access if required. Our 600sqft workshop has bench space for up to twelve jewellers and wide selection of jewellery making tools and equipment.

IMAGERY? – NJS tutor, Alys Power, is hand forming an ear wire for an earring from sterling silver wire. She uses flush cutting pliers to cut the wire to length and finishes the ends using a file and emery board. She uses round nosed pliers to shape the loops and a steel mandrel to form the hook. The hook is then planished with a jeweller’s hammer to harden the silver. Lastly, the end of the hook is filed and softened before the hook is fitted to the earring.
