JDMIS' educational programmes are structured in a completely modular fashion.
This design allows full-time students to achieve their educational goals efficiently and provides part-time students, industry professionals and amateur artisans the ability to progress towards a comprehensive jewellery qualification...
JDMIS is pleased to announce and exciting new programme for our designers...
Having successfully completed professional training at JDMIS, you have the skills and knowledge to excel as a jewellery designer or jewellery artist...
...but often, our graduates share that inspiration can be a challenge, or that they simply lack the focus and discipline to put their skills to maximum use.
If you are one of these people, our latest workshop is perfect to help you find what resonates with your design spirit!
Developed by expert global trainer, professional coach, jewellery designer and JDMIS graduate Rob Schilling, this 3 day workshop was created in collaboration with Suzanne Merritt, Aesthetics Researcher, artist and Fortune-500 innovation trainer based in the Boston Centre for the Arts.
Unlike anything available to jewellery artists worldwide, this workshop will help you identify your personal design archetypes, recording the patterns that resonate with them and translating them into desirable jewellery creations!
This is not an academic lecture series... it is a truly interactive workshop where you will surprise yourself with your personal discoveries! Some of you will remember how much fun we have had with Rob when he has come to guide our JDMIS ambassadors on their personal journeys as design professionals.
Who will this program benefit? Anyone who has taken Jewellery Design or CAD, Epic & Contemporary trends and anyone interested in finding their own unique expression to add value to their brand.
This 3 day interactive workshop will help you develop a clear grasp of your personal design aesthetic and can help guide your professional achievements.
Rob is a renown corporate trainer and professional coach delivering training to senior executives at companies around the world. Also a graduate of JDMIS and an avid jewellery designer and fabricator, Rob's classes are polished, engaging, practical and highly relevant to jewellery artists.

'Metal clay' is a new jewellery technology that comes from advances in powder metallurgy. It is composed of pure silver particles, water and binders. In this form it is soft and malleable like plasticine: very easy to sculpt into any shape you can imagine. When your design is ready, you 'fire' the piece - raising it to high temperatures and causing the water and binders to evaporate and the metal particles to 'sinter' or fuse together, leaving a solid metal jewellery design! In this Silver-jewellery making workshop, you will use Silver Metal Clay, and produce a design in pure silver (999 silver, more pure than sterling or 925 silver!)
The characteristics of a professional finish are highlighted and all past projects are reviewed and perfected. Advanced tools and techniques are then used to create a truly professional finish, all of which are applied to a spectacular final masterpiece project.
Enamelling is an inexpensive and popular method of adding value to jewellery via simulation of inlaid gemstones or the creative use of colour. Practice using modern resins to simulate the depth of traditional enamels using popular modern UV/Epoxy techniques.
The creation of rubber moulds and the use of moulds to make multiples of existing jewellery components are skills required by every professional. Learn to capture and re-use textures, deign elements and entire components for future metal clay creations.
Learn how to minimize waste when working with 22K gold metal clay and how to effectively combine gold, silver and copper clays. For designs that require a tighter budget, ‘Gilding’ techniques with gold leaf represent an affordable and visually stunning alternative to working with solid gold.
Like all JDMIS courses, students receive everything they need to complete all their coursework, plus all the tools and equipment they require to continue putting their skills to use from home or work. In this case, participants receive over a hundred grams of pure silver (and over 300 grams of Copper, Silver and Gold as they progress through all 3 of our Powder Metallurgy certifications), gemstones and a full-set of tools. Prices even include GST, so there are no hidden costs!

Learn about the characteristics of coloured glass and how to properly evaluate and combine glass of different refractive indices to form creative fused-glass centre pieces. Later use these to combine glass & metal clay silver, with an emphasis on setting and firing techniques that will not damage the glass components. Practice safe handling, fusing and firing of glass.
There are both technical and creative challenges to the use of gemstones and organic materials that cannot be fired. Using bezel wire it is possible to design and create in stages and assemble components after firing and finishing.
Use flush-setting techniques to accurately and securely set large numbers of small gemstones. ‘Encrusting’ or covering a surface with small gems, is used to practice fine setting skills.
Master the creation of crisp lines and accurate symmetry as well as invisible joins and effective repairs so as to produce quality, professional looking jewellery with sharp features.
