Searching for unique jewellery making classes in Warrington? Discover how to make beautiful jewellery pieces using sea glass or gemstones at The Fox Studios.

Sea glass is a wonderful material to work with. Bottles and glass that have been thrown into the sea become tumbled by the waves, gradually smoothing the glass to create a naturally distinctive piece. In this beginner-friendly workshop, your teacher Amie will help you create your very own unique jewellery piece by showing you how to measure, cut, and create a bezel setting to fit sea glass in silver.

Using traditional jewellery techniques, you will learn:

  • Cutting
  • Texturing
  • Forming
  • A stone setting technique called bezel setting
  • Soldering
  • Filing
  • Finishing

There will be a large selection of sea glass you can choose from. If you would prefer to work on a gemstone, we have a small selection in stock.

At the end of the class, return home with your finished jewellery along with the confidence and skills to continue your jewellery making hobby!

Please note:
  • You will be provided with a piece of silver for setting. However, if you wish the setting to be used on a ring or bangle, there will be a small charge for extra silver used on the day.
  • The minimum age to attend is sixteen. A paying adult must accompany all 16-17 year olds.

I set up The Fox Studios so that I had a bricks and mortar place in Warrington, where I could teach my passion, jewellery. I had been planning this for some time (around 3 years), before I went ahead and took the plunge. I chose Warrington for a few reasons, it's my home town, it's quite central (directly between Liverpool and Manchester) and because, well, where else would I set up jewellery classes?

I have been creative for as long as I can remember. When I left school I couldn't decide whether I wanted to do Fashion or Fine Art. I chose Fashion. I'm not quite sure why. It was an experience, and I enjoyed the journey, but I'm not sure I'm very fashionable. I have continued to sketch and paint, and have done so for many years. Due to a big life change in 2000, I started an evening class in jewellery and silversmithing and I can quite safely say I was hooked. I eventually went back to University as a mature student and finished my degree in 2008. A few short months later I was back teaching on the evening class where I'd first picked up the bug and it turned out I loved teaching.

I've been a jeweller for around 20 years now. I never expected to become a teacher, but it's something I really enjoy (and I hope it's something I'm good at, students do keep returning). I try to tailor the learning experience to the individual student, so that you can get the most out of the course.
