The Community

At Jewellers Academy Brighton, community is at the heart of everything we do. With 10 benches in the Makers studio, you’ll be working alongside a close-knit group of fellow jewellers who are all passionate about making, learning and building their businesses.

We want you to feel truly at home in the studio. Our space is designed to be warm, supportive, and inspiring - a place where you can share ideas, swap tips, celebrate wins, and feel encouraged every step of the way. Whether you're troubleshooting a tricky setting or chatting over tea, you’ll find camaraderie and genuine connections here.

The studio is right by the sea (you can see it from the front door) and a stones throw away from Brighton's jewellery quarter in the Lanes. So you will be based right in the heart of the city, with great transport links and plenty of lovely, independent spots for lunch and coffees!

We can’t wait to welcome you into our friendly community of makers.

Made by Jewellers: Exhibition space

As a member, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your work in Made by Jewellers, our brand-new gallery space opening to the public this August. Here, you can sell your pieces directly to customers and hold personal consultations in a beautiful, dedicated setting.

The gallery will be marketed independently of the school to attract a wide audience and raise your profile as a maker. We’ll also link directly to your own website or online shop to help you grow your sales and your brand.

Pricing

Standard membership is £399 per month, but we’re offering an introductory rate of £329 per month for your first three months of membership.

Application

We welcome applications from jewellers at different stages of their journey, providing you feel confident working alone in a jewellery workshop.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an informal chat to make sure our community is the right fit for you.
