Curious about designing jewellery on a computer, but never tried it? This is the perfect place to start.
You'll learn Rhino 3D — one of the most widely used CAD programs in the jewellery trade — and use it to design a letter pendant and a single stone ring, both taken through to models ready for casting and setting in the workshop. Alongside the design work, you'll learn how to prepare a model properly for casting, including getting the tolerances right, so what you make on screen translates cleanly into metal.
No software to buy, and no CAD experience needed — just bring a laptop, a mouse, and your curiosity. By the end of the day you'll have two professional-standard models of your own, plus a real sense of whether CAD design is something you want to take further.
Best suited to beginners who already have some hands-on jewellery-making experience.
