Join our jewellery and silversmithing courses and work with our highly qualified award-winning tutors. Where you will receive plenty of individual attention in small friendly classes for people aged 18 years upwards.
Creatstudio is centrally located in Faversham, a beautiful medieval market town, with easy access from public parking.
Note: All equipment is provided by us except for silver, which can cost from £15 upwards depending upon the size and the nature of projects. We sell the silver at the price we buy it for, however the price of silver fluctuates so this can be hard to predict. For longer running courses we prefer students to buy their own silver and give all details of dealers.
