​(if you become a member, you can access much more in depth tutorials and education modules, as well as receiving their quarterly magazine full of news and projects)

There are lots of free, and paid for resources available online for jewellers and this series of posts will highlight some of the ones that I think are the most useful...

Craft Cast is another great jewellery makers resource - they produce high quality video classes and tutorials, by some great makers - offering all sorts of jewellery making skills.

These are classes you do need to buy - but they are well worth the money, if you buy a class, if it is a new one - you can watch it live when it is launched, but you can also watch it again / whenever you like as it will be stored in your 'library' so that you can access it again and again, watch and pause it whenever you like, as you follow the project at home - you also get a pdf of the notes to download with each course. 

They currently have a 30% off any course and while we're all working from home, they are also running free hour long webinars each Wednesday where they chat to different tutors and look at different techniques - search on their website for 'Fun at One'...
