Turn Your Trip to Brighton into a Jewellery-Making Retreat: Jewellery Workshops Worth Travelling
Here at Jewellers Academy Brighton, we’re all about helping you learn the art of jewellery making in a beautiful, hands-on environment. We run in-person workshops seven days a week from our sparkling new studios right here in sunny Brighton, on the south coast of England.
Not based nearby? No problem. Many of our students travel from all over the UK – and the world! We already have Diploma bookings from as far as the USA and Vietnam, so if you’ve ever dreamt of combining a trip to England with learning a new skill (and yes, jewellery business owners – it’s a tax-deductible trip!), this could be just the thing.
Brighton is easy to get to – there's a direct train from London, and if you’re flying in, Gatwick Airport links straight to us by rail. With budget-friendly travel options and loads of local charm, it’s a great place for a creative getaway.
To make the most of your trip, we offer longer courses like our Summer Intensive Diploma, as well as Masterclasses, 5 Day Intensives, and even Private Tuition tailored just for you.
🎧 You can hear Jess chatting with our Community Manager Anna Campbell and Marketing Coordinator Sam Hudson about what’s coming up in this week’s Jewellers Academy Podcast – episode 254.
