Jewellery CoursesThe Precious Metal Arts ladder — bench skills to diploma
Five steps from first saw cut to gold work — the maker's ladder.
The ladder: foundation metalwork → metalsmithing + settings → silver modelling → casting + advanced settings → [moulds to gold masterclass](" + L("precious-metal-arts-certificate-courses/advanced-techniques-with-moulds-to-gold.html", "pmal-gold") + ") → diploma credit.
Each step is a separately-scheduled certificate — see the [calendar](" + L("admissions/calendar.html", "pmal-cal") + "). The bench is the industry's permanent backbone; this ladder is how it is learned properly.
