The Bornholm School of Jewellery   The idea behind the Bornholm School of Jewellery grew out of my years of teaching evening classes in jewellery making and goldsmith’s work and techniques in the Copenhagen area.   The rooms then at our disposal were far from optimal, my courses being held in “creative arts” rooms in local schools, where tools and general facilities were deplorable.   In 2001 when my wife began establishing the Rutsker Holiday Centre, which offered ample space, we decided to establish a proper teaching workshop at the holiday centre.

Now the Bornholm School of Jewellery runs classes in well equipped, spacious rooms. Our workshop has 10 work stations, the normal number of participants per class being limited to 8. The work stations are equipped with all necessary hand tools, and the workshop is provided with an abundant supply of the special goldsmith’s tools that will challenge your imagination to design your own personal jewellery.

We teach the techniques used by goldsmiths for making rings, bracelets, necklaces, ear ornaments, brooches, pendants etc. Our primary material is sterling silver. However, working with gold, copper and other metals is also a possibility.

Our classes cater to people who have already tried their hand at jewellery making as well as to those without experience. We do individual instruction and work with the techniques required for each student’s project. As a minimum you will try sawing, soldering, filing, grinding, polishing and buffing.  It is important to us that you get to know and train these basic goldsmith’s techniques, and our classes aim at making you able to design jewellery with an aestetic value.

From our classes you will take home unique pieces of jewellery,– jewellery of your design and making.
