Tracey Spurgin of Craftworx is proud to be an official Support Centre for the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery Silver Metal Clay Diploma Home Study Programme. The Home Study Diploma Programme allows students to study at their own pace and at a time that suits them. This means they can fit it around their own commitments and is especially suitable for those who are not able to travel to Cornwall. |

The MCSJ Diploma is widely acknowledged as the most thorough and comprehensive metal clay qualification in the world. It is independent and brand neutral so students learn to work with all types of silver metal clay and it also includes traditional silverwork skills. |
The three hands-on grades take the student from basic skills to advanced techniques and the fourth grade has two options; Design and Construction or Teaching Metal Clay Effectively.
A commitment to high standards of workmanship is rigorously applied making the Diploma the foremost qualification for those serious about developing as metal clay artists. |

The Silver Metal Clay Home Study Grade 1 pack is available to buy from the MCSJ website now. Further grades will be available in 2012. The Grade 1 pack contains two instructional DVDs, a CD of resources and project notes and all materials. Completed projects are submitted to MCSJ for evaluation and students receive detailed feedback on their work. When all seven projects pass, the student is awarded the Grade 1 Certificate. |
Tracey Spurgin, of Craftworx Jewellery Workshops, runs an official Diploma Support Centre offering a range of services to support students undertaking the Home Study Diploma Programme. These include kiln firing services – for which there is a free voucher in the Home Study pack – and open studio opportunities for students to use tools and equipment for a small fee. |
Students can also purchase a one-to-one critique session with Tracey, as an experienced metal clay teacher who will check their projects before they are ready to be submitted to MCSJ for evaluation. Tracey knows exactly, the standards MCSJ evaluators expect so this session can really help students to pass the evaluations first time. |

Tracey offers you studio time at Craftworx which will cost £36 for a maximum of 5 hours. Advance booking is necessary so please phone for availability.
Safety is paramount so you will be supervised during this time but the studio fee does not include teaching. Any additional teaching will be subject to additional fees. |
