What our students say
“I didn’t expect that I was going to make a vocation out of the course, but I specialised in jewellery and I think I can now say that I’m a jeweller! My brother says I've reinvented myself.
“I’m selling my own jewellery now and it feels amazing. It's something that I thought would never happen to me."
