Are You Craving a Fun, Satisfying Jewelry Making Project?

One that gets you back in the saddle in hours (not weeks).

As a previous member of our Metalsmith Academy, I know you’ve got big jewelry-making dreams. You’ve done some classes, bought a few tools, and learnt a few skills… but maybe somewhere along the way, things got heavier than you expected.

Like perhaps the setup felt a bit intense? The learning curve felt steep? And after all that effort… there wasn’t much actual jewelry to show for it! When that happens, it’s pretty easy for motivation to fizzle away, progress to slow, and your tools to end up gathering dust in the drawer.

If that sounds familiar, let me reassure you…
it’s NOT because you’re bad at this.

It’s because most jewelry classes assume you have endless time, energy, and brain space. You don’t. You’ve got a real life that doesn’t pause just because you want to learn something new.

This class is a no-pressure reset to get you back in the saddle without the drama.

One Quick Project. No Fancy Tools. Skills You’ll Reuse Forever.

This is the Satisfying Project  You’ve Been Craving

Take a sneak peek at exactly what’s in store for you inside this brand new class.

Introducing: No Solder Earrings for Beginners

A crash course in jewelry-making fundamentals, disguised as a crazily addictive earring project.

This class goes beyond “follow these steps” and teaches you how to think like a metalsmith.

The best part is, with a 2-hour run time, these lessons can be completed in just one or two focused sessions, so you can start making jewelry without rearranging your whole life.

No Matter What Experience You’ve Got (or Haven’t Got), Making Beautiful Jewelry Isn’t Out of Reach

In fact, it’s just been way overcomplicated.

The fact is, jewelers aren’t special (coming from one of 17+ years!) No jeweler starts out with secret talents or magic hands. They’ve just taken the time to learn the foundations properly, and started creating.

So if you’ve ever thought “that looks amazing, but I could never!”... you’re exactly who this class is for. You don’t need to earn the right to call yourself a jeweler. You just need a fun, step-by-step way to learn the core skills and prove to yourself that YES, you can do this.

And that’s exactly where this class comes in…

Learn the Steps to Create Your Own Pair of (Deceivably Simple) Earrings

No assumed knowledge. No rushing past the hard stuff. No hands blocking your view. Just crystal clear guidance to help you make an impressive pair of earrings (that’ll leave you feeling totally smug). 

Across these bite-sized lessons, you’ll learn how to:

Build a small beginner toolkit that unlocks endless possibilities

You’ll see how just a handful of simple, beginner-friendly tools can take you far beyond this one project, and open the door to making all kinds of jewelry without a studio or expensive setup.

Create tons of different earring designs with ease

You’ll learn how simple it is to make a wide variety of earring styles using the same core process. With dozens of beginner-friendly templates, it’s easy to spark creativity and keep the juices flowing.

Use one set of skills to make more than just earrings

We start with earrings because they’re fast, fun, and forgiving, but you’ll clearly see how the exact same skills carry over into pendants, necklaces, and other designs as you grow.

Add texture that makes your work look intentional (not perfect)

This is where the magic really happens. You’ll learn how easy it is to add texture that gives your earrings personality, hides tiny imperfections, and turns simple shapes into drool-worthy pieces.

Plus, you’ll learn tons of other foundational jewelry making skills, like how to:

Get comfortable using tools without needing lots of practice pieces

Know when a piece is “finished enough” to wear or sell

Make your own parts instead of buying everything ready-made

Sell your pieces for real money, getting paid for the time and love you poured into each one.

Bonus No-Solder Earring Template Pack (Valued at $19)

45+ ready-to-use earrings designs to get your creative juices flowing

One of the hardest parts of starting anything creative is staring at a blank page (or blank piece of metal) and thinking, “Cool… now what?”

That’s why I’ve included this pack of beautiful, ready-to-use earring designs, for free with your class! You can just print them, cut them, and assemble them without any second-guessing! These (intentionally) organic designs are super forgiving if your cuts are wonky at first, and with a bit of texture on top, you can ensure even your first attempts are wearable and professional-looking.

Ditch the design block, and get straight to work creating your first pair of earrings with these templates backing you up.

Stop Waiting for a Day Off to Unlock Your Creativity

You don’t need more time. You just need a better starting point.

This class exists for people who are busy, capable, and tired of waiting for perfect conditions. You don’t need a clear calendar. You just need a clear path.

And hear me when I say: just because this class is simple, that doesn’t mean it’s cheap and nasty! Humbly speaking, the quality of this training far outweighs the random tutorials you’ll find on YouTube or Udemy.

Each lesson breaks the process down into simple steps anyone can complete…even if you’ve never made a piece of jewelry before in your life! Every video only takes just a few minutes, and builds on the last thing you learned, so you can grow your skills and your confidence.

You’ll get addicted to the feeling of getting faster with each pair of earrings you create, and super smug when you can eventually knock a pair out in less than 30 minutes. The best part is, the earrings themselves are the practice. These organic designs actually look better when your saw work isn’t perfect!

You don’t need weeks of free time, a fancy studio or nerves of steel. You just need clear, step-by-step direction that removes the guesswork.

Includes Everything You Need:

Crystal Clear Videos

Enjoy beautifully shot, engaging videos that never block your view (no seriously, we’re obsessive about that!). Each video will help you understand scale, see exactly how the jewelry-making tools are used, and take you up close and personal with all the nitty-gritty details.

Detailed Explanations

In order to help you to truly ‘get it’ and translate these lessons to your own unique designs, we ensure you understand not only the how but also the why. Don’t worry though, we also pledge that all our videos are as waffle-free as possible - packed only with the need-to-know info you’ll actually use.

Why a No Solder Class?

(Especially since I’m a self-proclaimed pyromaniac)

Because after talking to thousands of jewelry makers over the years, soldering is the sticking point I hear over and over again. And here’s the thing: soldering isn’t actually the scary part. Once you know the rules, it’s totally doable… but jumping straight to fire before you feel confident cutting, shaping, drilling and finishing metal? That’s where people get stuck.

I’ve been dreaming about creating this class for years. Something that lets you build real metal jewelry, properly, without needing a torch on day one. Not as a workaround or shortcut. But as a smart first step.

This no-solder approach gives you time to get comfy with the metal itself. You learn how it behaves, how to control your tools, how to make clean, intentional pieces… all the stuff that makes soldering feel way less intimidating later on.

And when it’s time you are excited to bring fire into the mix (and you will be soon enough), it doesn’t feel like a leap off a cliff. It just feels like the next logical step.

So What Tools Do You Actually Need for This Class?

(Don’t worry, no expensive shopping sprees are required!)

As promised, this class requires no solder and no flames. Just a small collection of useful tools that will last you years. You’ll need something to cut your metal, clean up the edges, add holes and texture, and a couple of simple things to link everything together!

We firmly believe there’s always more than one way to do something, which means there’s always more than one tool to do it with. When you sign up to this class, we’ll give you all the lowdown of what tools you could use, and how to choose the right ones for you. There’s options if you’re on a budget or if you’re feeling like a splurge - but the reality is, getting started doesn’t have to be expensive! We’ll show you how to make the tools you have work for you - it’s all about modification, baby.

Take Your Learning Back to Your Workbench With Our Fabulous Downloadable Handout

This guide is set to be your ultimate wingman (or woman) for this class! It’s packed with everything you’ll need to know to create these beautiful earrings from scratch. Having this on hand (instead of needing to dart back to the videos) will be a godsend.

Lucy is a gem of a teacher imparting valuable knowledge and patiently guiding you every step of the way, you can tell she genuinely wants the best for everyone. She makes you feel comfortable by creating a conducive environment for students to explore their creativity and hone their skills. I was sad when the class came to an end, it was an immensely enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to joining her next classes…

I discovered my love of jewelry making in early 2021 and found Lucy Walker’s Metalsmith Academy at the same time. Talk about the stars being in alignment for me as I went from absolute beginner to having the confidence to start my own handmade jewelry business within months. So empowering!! The course is brilliant with outstanding instruction - videos, handouts, step by step processes, super handy tips and more. The projects are motivating and well-sequenced to build skills steadily. The creative kickstarters are awesome for stretching your creativity - see my image. The encouragement from Lucy and her team and the other members is excellent and affirming. The course is excellent value for money and the opportunity to win prizes along the way is an added bonus. My only regret is that the Aussie/USD exchange rate is a killer. I finished much of the course content anyway, but am glad that Lucy shares a lot of content on YouTube so I still get my fix.

Prior to joining LWJA i was frustrated and trying to figure so much out all by myself. Now I've found my home and all the support I was looking for here at the academy. I've taken other classes online and in person but none compare to Lucy's clear instructions and extra close up video demonstrations. I'm still so surprised by how much value there is in the classes and the forum with Lucy's constant presence and mentorship alone. I am always able to get help with any project or skill whether it's from a class or not. Also, I've got access to Vennice's amazing rendering classes, all the free template and project exercises, vendor discount codes and so many more perks included in my membership! I've been a member for 3 years and continue to learn and find so much support from new classes, Lucy's mentorship on the forum and the community at LWJA. And the icing on the cake is Lucy's frequent give aways, awards and competition which have more than paid for my membership! I'm really lucky to have found such an amazing group to be a part of!

I joined Lucy’s metalsmith academy when it first opened and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. When I joined all I could make was simple silver rings, self taught. I really wanted to learn how to set gemstones and because of the clear, concise tutorials I can now flush set, bead set, prong set and bezel set! Before this I used to spend hours searching YouTube but there was either too much waffle ???? or not clear enough footage of what they were doing. And to top it off, everyone at the academy including members are so, so friendly ????????

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need to spend on tools to actually complete this no-solder earring project?

A great question! I’m not going to pretend you can make these pieces with your bare hands alone, but I can promise you that the tools list for this project is as simple as it gets. And, you’ll continue to use these same tools for years to come! The basic toolkit we outline will cost you about $100- $150, and for materials, we’re talking about $30-$50 for those. Obviously this can all vary, but hopefully that’s a helpful guide. And honestly, you might even have half the tools lying around in your garage!

Plus, we’ve also been chatting to some of our favorite tool companies, and putting something exclusive together to make it even more affordable to build your toolkit! More on that inside the class 😉

Is this class only for beginners?

I’m a firm believer that learning (or relearning) jewelry making fundamentals can be helpful no matter how much experience you’ve got! While this class is a great class for total newbies, if you’ve already clocked some hours at the bench, I’m confident you’ll get a ton out of the lessons as well. It’s designed to leave you with finished jewelry pieces in hours, not weeks, all while practicing essential skills you’ll use everyday as a jewelry maker. No matter how much time you’ve spent making jewelry so far, this is the best-next project for you.

What makes this class different from free tutorials on YouTube?

In short: quality of videography. No hands blocking your view. No moments when you say, “wait, when the f$&@ did she do that?!” This class is a full-sized course filmed from multiple angles so you actually see what’s happening.

All our classes are known for their structure, depth, and no-fluff policy. There’s no ads, no vague “and then you just sand it” moments… just clear, professional instruction that walks you through every step (with a few cheeky jokes to keep it fun).

Humbly speaking, the quality of our classes are akin to jewelry schools, or what you’d find in an online accreditation. This class is a steal compared to the value you’re getting inside!

Does this class come with an epic downloadable handout?

Absolutely! We all learn in different ways, which is why all our classes are accompanied by at least one detailed downloadable handout. This handout is designed to be the class companion you never knew you needed! Full of clear instructions, full-colour photos and bonus tips, this handout is destined to make your life just that much easier when working at your bench. Download it when you sign in to the class, and it’s yours to keep for life!

How long do I have access to the class?
You get 12 months of unlimited access to the No Solder Earrings Class from the day you purchase.
Why can’t I get video access for more than 12 months?

The only reason we offer 12-month access (instead of lifetime) is so we can keep the price super accessible and still deliver high-quality, regularly updated classes. Most students find a full year is the perfect amount of time to enjoy the projects without feeling rushed, and it’s the sweet spot that keeps things affordable and sustainable. “Lifetime access” sounds lovely, but behind the scenes it means we’re paying for hosting, streaming, and platform updates until the end of time. Keeping it to 12 months is what lets our tiny (but mighty!) team offer affordable classes while keeping everything fair and sustainable (we’re a small business who’s gotta survive too).

The good news? This class also comes with a detailed step-by-step handout you can download and keep forever - and this is so thorough you often don’t need ongoing video access. Even just downloading the handouts for this class will save you so much money in the long run.

Is there really a 30 day money back guarantee?

Absolutely there is. I’m so confident you’re going to love this class that I’ll happily take on the risk myself… if you purchase no solder earrings for beginners and find you don’t absolutely love it, I’ll give you a full refund. Just let me know by emailing academy@lucywalkerjewelry.com within 30-days, and you can have all your money back - no questions asked!
