10am - 4pm

Polishing is only as good as the surface beneath it - and this course is all about getting your work to that perfect “polish-ready” stage. You’ll learn how to file correctly, clean up solder joints, refine surfaces, and avoid the common mistakes that show up after you start buffing, ready for a flawless polish.

Whether you're struggling with surface marks, uneven edges, or just want your work to reach that next level, this course is for you.

Because the secret to perfect polishing? It’s all in the prep!

Whether you're new to jewellery or want to refine your skills, this course will give you the confidence and control to take your finishing game to the next level. Angela’s clear, supportive guidance makes this workshop suitable for beginners as well as those looking to refine their skills.
