What happens during the masterclass?

First, Stephen talks about his career giving you an insight into the makings of a master craftsman. Then he will demonstrate just why he is known as the Guru. After this demonstration you will be guided by Stephen to try and replicate what you have been shown in the demonstration.

After working through a few more exercises and receiving the Guru's approval you will set to work on your own jewellery, receiving guidance on not just how to achieve the finish you would like for your jewellery but to reach a standard of finish you didn't know you could.
