Online Mentoring &
Technical Troubleshooting
FOR JEWELLERY MAKERS AND THOSE LOOKING TO LEARN
As Makers, we all face stumbling blocks, especially when working alone. We live in an amazing time with so much access to free information, tutorials, and advice, but it's often not clear which advice is relevant to you and the specifics of what you're working on.
When you don't have a trusted and experienced jewellery mentor or tutor, it can be extremely difficult to know why things aren't quite working or how to improve. Often, when looking at advice given in online groups.
​
This is why professional Mentoring and Troubleshooting can be invaluable. Kim has over two decades of experience in jewellery silversmithing and tutoring. There aren't many issues or stumbling blocks she hasn't come across.

#12MonthsOfMetal
#!2MonthsOfMetal is a Free Series of Jewellery-Making Tutorials created by Kim in collaboration with Kernowcraft.
Kim strongly believes that silversmithing should be accessible to all, so throughout 2019, Kim filmed a year's worth of free tutorials that were originally shared on her Instagram. These tutorials were designed to walk you through the complete basics of jewellery silversmithing while enabling you to build your tool kit slowly and sustainably. Thanks to Kernowcraft, these tutorials have been compiled in an easy-to-view format that allows students to revisit them whenever they wish. Over 5 years later, these tutorials are still a much utilised and loved resource in the jewellery community,
