Are you a part-time jeweller and want to keep building your skills-set? Can't commit to a full term? Would you like advice or guidance with a tricky soldering join? No sweat! Your skilled tutor will always be there to calmly help you get the most out of your day at The Bench. 

There is no lesson plan here, but a tutor will always be on site for trouble shooting and/ or bouncing ideas. Whether you are here for the atmosphere, hooked on making, passionate about jewellery or in the process of growing your own brand, Talent to Treasure will introduce and instruct you in the fields of design development, traditional techniques, production jewellery manufacture and designing for exhibitions.

Talent to Treasure was designed to be a flexible way for you to learn, make and create your way!
