How do i get into Jewelry making?
Hi
Im from north london and was wondering if any of you can help me, I really want to start making my own Jewelry and have no idea how to start this, I am hoping to maybe get a couple of my own stalls or even hire out a section in shops etc, I really like funky/different styles of jewelry and just really want to start doing this. Any advice on how to start, maybe any courses around north london that anyone knows off?
Thanks.
Before worrying about the business side you need to just teach yourself the skills. You just need to buy some basic tools (a pair of round-nosed pliers, a pair of flat-nosed pliers and some cutters). Just get some books out of the library and practise the techniques. I am sure some of the colleges and adult education centres in London will run courses. You need to concentrate on getting your skills perfect and on discovering your own style before launching into the business side of things.
You must do enough investigations and do some decisions before you set up your own business. You must know what’s your group of targeted customers, costs of metals, mechine and gemstones involved; where could you find reliable and cheap suppliers…. So many things to consider
