Fun, informative and creative jewellery-making workshops and short courses in Eastbourne, East Sussex, for beginners and more experienced jewellers alike.  

Click here to read what past students say about our courses and workshops.

We teach precious metal clay (PMC) techniques for making fine silver jewellery, as well as traditional silverwork (silversmithing) skills, including wire-wrapping, annealing, piercing, filing and soldering, and our tutors can teach you to design jewellery, make resin or polymer clay jewellery, to enamel, to gild, to make fingerprint jewellery and to bead and pearl-string to a professional level, as well as much more!  You can even arrange to use our well-equipped 350sq ft workshop to work independently on your own projects, or fire your precious metal clay pieces in our kilns.

The Sussex Jewellery School is close to Eastbourne train station, so our jewellery-making classes and courses are easily accessible from Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Polegate, Haywards Heath, East Croydon, Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Worthing, Clapham Junction, Ashford International (including Eurostar from countries in the EU) and central London. 

With good local road networks, the school is easily reached by car from the M25, A21, A22, A23, and A27, so is accessible from Kent and South and South-East London. Eastbourne is a seaside, holiday town, so if you're coming from further afield, there's plenty of good accommodation in the town, from seafront B&Bs to more upmarket hotels and country inns, and there are plenty of attractions to keep the rest of the family happy, whether young or old, while you're having a fun and creative time with us.
