What you will learn in the Goldsmith Programme
In the Goldsmith Programme, you will learn how to make jewellery from scratch. In Year 1, you will learn techniques such as cutting, grinding and bending brass and start making silver jewellery. In Year 2, you will work in silver and then gold. Among other things, you will make jewellery of your own design, train your skills in sketching your own jewellery, and learn about sales and how to run a business. In Year 3, you will work with gold, stones and jewel settings.
Goldsmithing is a craft with a long history, and you will convey your knowledge through the joy of working with your hands and the desire to shape gold and silver jewellery that brings meaning and joy to people.
The programme also emphasises communication skills in order to be able to work both independently and in a group.

Workplace-based learning
Parts of the programme take place at one or more workplaces for at least 15 weeks. This is known as workplace-based learning (arbetsplatsförlagt lärande, APL).
