Springburn Campus
The NC Jewellery (Level 6) programme introduces you to the essential techniques used in professional jewellery workshops, from working with metals and tools to exploring your own ideas through drawing, design, and experimentation. Whether you dream of becoming a jeweller, progressing to HNC/HND Art & Design pathways, or simply want to develop your craft, this course offers a friendly and supportive space to learn, make, and grow.
The course centres around three main areas.
Design – this area of study will encourage you to explore the fascinating world of Jewellery design considering both the aesthetics of the work but also sympathetic to the techniques and processes used to realise each design.
Manufacture – in our well-equipped and dedicated Jewellery studios, you will experience a structured approach to learning the craft of Jewellery manufacture and you will experience the full range of hand manufacturing techniques available to the modern craftsperson. These techniques include silversmithing, enamelling, engraving and polishing.
Gemstones – a particular specialism of the department is the study and use of precious gemstones and this takes the form of a detailed investigation of gemmology (identification of gemstones) and the practical application of gem setting techniques, so valuable to the modern Jeweller.
No formal entry requirements. Entry subject to interview. Evidence of ability in Art and Design, English and hand skills would be an advantage.
