Mastering Granulation: A Creative Jewellery Workshop

Three-day workshop covering the art of granulation and chemical soldering

The course begins with an introduction to granulation, including its history and the basics of soldering, before moving into the practical aspects of making granules and creating samples in silver.

Who is it for?

  • Skill level is beginner to advanced.
  • Familiarity with basic hand tools and jewellery making skills is helpful but it is not essential.
  • Makers with craft skills in other mediums may have transferable skills. 

What do you get?

  • Learn a rare technique: Explore the ancient art of granulation—detailed, beautiful, and rarely taught today.
  • Build practical skills: Get hands-on with granule making, chemical soldering, and working in silver or gold.
  • Make real pieces: Take home finished samples and possibly a pendant or earrings you’ve made yourself.
  • Expert, personalised support: Enjoy step-by-step guidance and plenty of time for questions and feedback.

What can it be used for?

  • By the end of the course, participants will have completed a range of sample pieces to take home with them, and some may create a small item such as a pendant or earrings.
  • The class offers personalised instruction, with ample opportunities for questions and interaction with other students
