In our STUDIO SCHOOL OF GOLDSMITH ART ( the first one to open in Rome ), every month a new cycle of classes start, in mornings, afternoon and evenings, taught by the best GOLDSMITH MASTERS with over thirty years of experience who offer the students all their knowledge .

Past experience has proven that our teaching method eases learning of the PROFESSION even to those who do not show particular skill or vocation .

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ? 

Because we employ a very simple method : from the very first day, we encourage the students to use all the tools, we constantly advise him and reveal to him, with no reserve, all the SECRETS OF THE PROFESSION, that otherwise would take him years and years to learn ( and still not always successfully ).

As a matter of fact, the student learns, from the first lesson, Melting, laminating, drawing wire, soldering, sawing, filing, metal cleaning, polishing. Therefore after only two or three hours of practice he is able to make his first ring .

 

When upon completion of the GLOBAL PROGRAM OF JEWELRY ART, all students are capable of projecting and making, from A to Z, any type of jewel with or without precious stones : rings, broches, pendents,earings, necklaces, bracelets and whatever piece from his own creativity.

 

This is made possible by the particular innovativeness of our classes that include three main directions : Construction , Wax Modeling and Repousse .

 

Previously those technics used to be exclusively in the hands of specialists .

 

Today the students who has been prepared in our school has  a much of wider training.

He will not need any outside help of a specialist to complete his own pieces.

 

Moreover, if he attended our STONE SETTING AND BEZELS program he will have an almost complete knowledge of JEWELRY ART. 

   

If during a pause of the studies or job, during a weekend or a short permanence to Rome, only of some week, an EXPERIENCE IN JEWELRY ART, fast is wanted to be undertaken less, but intense (more or deepened), the school it puts to disposition its laboratories, the equipments and the experience of its Jewelry Teacher .
