Jewellery Making Courses in Birmingham
The JQ Set is a jewellery school that runs weekly evening and weekend jewellery making classes in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.
The JQ Set is temporarily closed with the current Covid-19 guidance. Sign up to our Newsletter to be the first to hear about when new course dates are launched.
About the Studio
The JQ Set is a jewellery workshop for both established makers and jewellery students.
One half of the studio houses our resident jewellery designer/makers, and the other half is our jewellery school; a welcoming teaching space with 10 student benches, tools and machinery.
We teach jewellery craftsmanship and hand skills to students wanting to learn to make jewellery.
Our Courses
The JQ Set runs several short blocks of 3-6 week jewellery courses each school term, with a few Taster one-day classes dotted throughout. You’re sure to find some dates that work for you.
In the Summer School timetable (launching 2020) there will be a number of intensive jewellery short courses held during the summer break. Our amazing 3-day beginners course will be available (3 days of jewellery making in a row! Dreamy!), and we’re scheduling some 2-5 day jewellery masterclasses with visiting tutors, focussing on particular jewellery skills and projects.

Pippa is a professional jeweller and gifted teacher – very friendly and easy to approach (and her dog is lovely)!
The project is broken down into simple steps, which she demonstrates, and she gave us tiny hints that make a huge difference!
I can’t praise this course enough.
I’ve just completed the beginner’s course and I would highly recommend it!
We learnt a wide range of techniques, Pippa is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient – under her instruction I made a ring which I’m really pleased with.
