Reviews
"K2 is an amazing place to learn all sorts of jewellery techniques and they cater for all levels of student. The tutors are amazing, knowledgeable and very open to questions. The facilities are great and the class sizes are perfect! I couldn't recommend them enough."
"I have been attending day workshops at K2 for more than a year now and I continue to deepen my knowledge, technique and skills. I enjoy working on my own projects with the amazing support from both tutors at K2, Katrin and Kelvin. Both are highly skilled jewellers with a great artistic eye, and both are excellent teachers who can motivate their students to improve and progress. They are very responsive to requests from students and will teach any technique we want to learn. And the number of things you could possibly learn in jewellery is endless!"
"The Jewellery School in London to go to! The knowledge and experience of both teachers is outstanding! Katrin and Kelvin are not just highly skilled jewelry makers, they are very kind and approachable persons. The students are provided with basic goldsmith techniques to ensure they can realize their unique ideas during the term. The main focus of K2 is to establish a creative mindset to approach the field of jewellery from all angles possible. There should be no rules in art and the pieces created in this studio are nothing short but art themselfs. All materials are allowed and new techniques are invented each other session. Besides, to keep it in the jewellery lingo -> look out for the rest of K2's team.... they are some hidden gems."
"I came to the Friday workshops with some specific problems I needed to solve and came away with new skills to sort these out as well as a head now bulging with extra techniques and ideas. This is thanks to Kelvin and Katrin's teaching which is both technically thorough and conceptually provocative. I loved my time at the school and will definitely be going back."
"K2 is a great place to study Jewellery Making! As a prospecting jeweller I feel I am making a great choice for my career to learn from Katrin and Kelvin who have an ENORMOUS experience as jewellers and teachers and genuinely enjoy sharing their extensive knowledge. I'm an ambitious beginner who wants to learn quickly, so the individual approach to students and the fact that the groups are small definitely helps to speed up the learning process. After graduating from BA Fine Art at CSM I decided to turn to Jewellery Design and Making and I needed a course that will be a bridge between conceptual, art side of jewellery and proper technical training. K2 turned out to be the perfect place because experimentation, innovation and creativity is always encouraged alongside developing my practical skillset. Brilliant central location of the school is a plus too :) Highly recommended!"
