Goldsmith training
(2 year anniversaryroute - Tue, Wed, Thu)
Teachers: Ine Cornelissens, Mich Larivière, Luc Van den Broeck
Turn your love for jewellery into a sparkling, challenging new career with the Goldsmith training. Our courses are an efficient way to learn to design jewellery, make or repair it in a traditional way, or get started using the latest 3D techniques. Create, draw, engrave, set and restore rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and necklaces. All specializations are offered.
Beautify your future and follow the Goldsmith training with us.
The full goldsmith training has been offered as a daytime course for several years. The training is intended for students who may already have a secondary diploma and want to become skilled in the profession of goldsmith. Candidates without prior education but who want to retrain within the jewelry sector are also welcome. The complete training takes two years. The lessons are given 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 8:40 am to 4:30 pm. In addition to the classic manual skills of the profession, attention is also paid to contemporary production techniques that are based on 3D computer design and 3D printing supplemented with casting of the jewel.

Since the training is modular, you can also spread the training over a longer period. If you have already obtained the partial certificate for one or more modules in an evening or day course, you can also join the course later in the course.

For the modern goldsmith and certainly for the future goldsmith, the use of CAD software for developing his creations is indispensable.
The number of possibilities that this technique adds to the creation of jewellery designs is invaluable.
The exceptional thing about the 3Design software that is used at school is that it is specially designed for the artisan goldsmith.
It is accessible without any prior technical cad or computer science training. We do not work with difficult commands, but with easy-to-use tool icons. A fully parametric structure ensures that your work remains reworkable and adaptable.
Due to the limited number of participants, two sessions are organized every year.
The 3Design module (Computer design jewellery) is part of the 'Goldsmith' training course, but is offered separately in this series of lessons to professional goldsmiths or interested parties.

Continuing to develop in the workshop
Have you completed the full course and would you like to further refine your skills? In the Advanced Workshop, you’ll be given extra space to practise, explore techniques in greater depth and discover your own potential as a goldsmith and jewellery designer. You’ll work under supervision, but above all you’ll be given the freedom to focus on what you’d like to learn next.
Discover new techniques
Perhaps you’d like to finally master a particular technique, gain further experience or simply continue experimenting with materials, forms and techniques. In this open module, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge and discover new techniques that aren’t covered in such depth in the standard course. The Advanced Studio is for those who never want to stop learning and wish to continually develop their craftsmanship.

Engraving
Teacher: Joris Faes
Jewelry engraving has been known and loved since ancient times by both the maker and the wearer of all kinds of jewelry. Applying these artisanal decorations requires good mastery of the technique. During this training, all aspects of this noble technique are discussed.
An absolute must for personalizing your creations.

When it comes to the design of a piece of jewelry, diamonds often take center stage. Therefore, it is very important that this stone is placed beautifully and securely in the jewelry.The real challenge is to ensure that the gemstone is shown off to its best advantage, without the setting overpowering the design. Therefore, diamond setting is a skill that you will master over time.
This small typesetting course mainly covers the setting techniques that the goldsmith will perform himself in his own workshop. Simple grave settings, case settings and trapped settings are covered here.
