At The Bench

At The Bench is an online learning platform designed to support jewellers at every stage of their journey. With over 1,770 videos available, members can explore a huge range of techniques, tools, and tips — from beginner basics to advanced projects.

🛠 Getting Started
New members are encouraged to begin in the RoadMap section on their Member Home Page, starting with Setting Up A Studio, followed by Introduction to Piercing. These foundational lessons are the perfect way to build confidence at the bench.

🔥 Fan Favourites
The Introduction to Soldering classes are some of the most-watched on the site — they’ve helped countless jewellers overcome the mystery of soldering, earning praise from beginners and experienced makers alike.

✨ Wide Range of Techniques
Once the basics are covered, members can dive into specialist topics like Texturing, Casting, and Stone Setting. Each section is packed with clear, practical demonstrations to inspire new ideas and build skills.

📺 Live-Streamed Workshops
Regular live YouTube workshops allow members to watch full projects unfold in real time. Viewers can ask questions and interact throughout — and if a session is missed, replays are always available.

💬 Creative Community
The members-only forum is a great place to share work, exchange feedback, and connect with a supportive community of fellow jewellers.
