Jewellery Feedback Session: Refining Your Finish with GC&DC
Tuesday 7th July | The Goldsmiths' Centre
Are you a jeweller who is keen to develop your making skills and refine your work’s finish? Would you like to receive personalised feedback on a finished piece of jewellery you have made, to help you achieve excellence as you develop? Sit down with experienced jewellers and manufacturers from the Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council (GC&DC) for supportive, hands-on feedback to help you develop your work and grow your confidence.
This session is open to all makers – whether you’ve entered the competition before – and offers a chance to talk through your making process and get personalised tips from industry professionals. Bring one finished piece, talk through your making process, and get tips to help you refine your finish, strengthen your technique and develop your eye for detail – whether you’re aiming for competitions, commissions, or simply raising your professional standard. Think of it as expert coaching, not a critique. You’ll leave with actionable insights, a clearer direction, and the confidence to take your making to the next level.
Please use the link to book your tutorial.
...the GC&DC is not just one night. It is a year-round effort "to encourage, stimulate and promote the pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship and design”...
-- John Ball, GC&DC Chair
