Hello I expect you might know me!

[The Guru]

Hi

Just a quick introduction, I am a precious metal polisher, have been in the trade for over 40 years.

I make my living as a freelance, tutor & bespoke polisher, I teach the Short courses at The Birmingham School of Jewellery, Jasso, Irish Craft Council & VanTol & Breet Academy in Den Bosch .

I am also the bespoke polisher for Theo Fennell, plus a few other designers.

Already a moderator on the polishing Forum for Guild of Jewellery Designers & I am call The Gold polishing Guru!

This is what they say about The Guru " He is not just known for his polishing but the finishes he can create to bring out the very best details.

Has a very unique style & is a very natural with his presentations & Master Classes."


Any questions, please feel free to ask away.

Thank you for adding me.

Hi Stephen - one of these days I'll manage to get to one of your courses; I didn't know you did them for JASSO too.

Hello Stephen and welcome.
Looking forward to hearing more from you.

When I started jewellery making not so long ago I naively thought polishing was one of the skills I'd learn and then move on.
Have since learned there's much much more to it.
All the best
Tim
