Introducing: Texture Mastery
Everything you need to understand, create, and apply textured finishes in one seriously in-depth masterclass.
This is the biggest class we’ve ever launched with 4 hours of addictive, hands-on video lessons, all dedicated to teaching you the art of texturing! Whether you’re a jewelry beginner or you’ve been making pieces for a while, texturing is one of the easiest ways to add instant character, depth, and handmade charm. And bonus, it lets you skip the ball ache that is the polishing stage we all hate!
Inside Texture Mastery, you’ll learn how to create textures using a wide range of tools, and use them intentionally in your designs (so they don’t just look like you went nuts with a hammer). From cheap punches to fancy pants rolling mills, we cover it all for total texture mastery. By the end of the 13 lessons, you’ll have your own texturing library and toolkit, and you’ll be adding epic textures with confidence.
Let’s Take a Closer Look at What You’ll Learn Inside This Class:
Across these hands-on lessons, you’ll learn how to:
Create intentional texture that actually enhances your designs
You’ll learn how texture works alongside design, so you’re not just adding marks for the sake of it. You’ll be able to choose and place textures in a way that makes your pieces feel cohesive, balanced, and properly considered.
Confidently use a wide range of tools (without needing them all)
From hammers and punches to burs, files, and rolling mills, you’ll explore a huge variety of techniques. You’ll also learn how to get creative results with simple tools, not just the fancy ones.
Turn simple designs into pieces with real depth and character
You’ll discover how even basic shapes can be elevated with the right textures. The result is jewelry that feels more layered, more interesting, and more finished.
Understand when to use (and avoid) different textures
It’s not just about what you can do. You’ll learn when certain textures work, when they don’t, and how to avoid that slap-dash look.
Finish textured pieces so they look polished and professional
You’ll learn how to refine your work properly. That includes polishing without losing your texture and creating contrast that makes your pieces feel high-quality and wearable.
Build your own texture library to fuel future designs
By creating multiple samples and applying them in a final piece, you’ll develop a go-to collection of textures. You’ll have ideas and references to come back to whenever you need them.
Plus, you’ll learn tons of other foundational texturing skills:
Understand how different metals respond to texture
Control how your tools move and shape the metal
Work with both “moving” and “removing” metal techniques
Use everyday tools in more creative, unexpected ways
Lay out designs with accuracy before you start cutting or filing
Develop better hand control and precision at the bench
And loads more…
Bonus Texturing Resource Pack
(Valued at $448)
When you purchase the Texture Mastery Bundle, you’ll also receive access to this curated collection of 17 texturing resources, designed to make your life a thousand times easier at the bench!
Some of my favorites include:
Interactive Canva Design File (Valued at $59)
A drag-and-drop Canva file to explore designs and textures risk-free.
We’ve gone all-out creating a treasure trove of textures, gemstone renderings, and editable frames to make designing your jewelry easier (and more fun). With this interactive Canva file, you don’t have to start from scratch - just drag, drop, and play with your ideas. Get your ideas out of your head and onto paper… without wasting any expensive metals in the process.
Graverless Bead Setting (Valued at $47)
Create beautiful, textured settings… no gravers required.
Want to bead set round brilliant cut stones… without ever touching a graver? This bonus training walks you through a clever alternative that opens up a world of creative options. Whether you’re trying something new or saving a flush set piece setting with an oversized seat, this method has your back.
The Hammer Makeover (Valued at $29)
Take your hammer from dud to stud.
Making beautiful textures isn’t all about having flashy tools! A lightly modified, cheap-as-chips hammer can work just as well as a $50 one. In this 10-minute bonus training, I’ll share my handy hints for giving your hammer a facelift, and make sure it’s working hard for you!
Making a Texture Hammer (Valued at $27)
DIY your own “Big Dinger” hammer for less than $5.
Love all those fancy hammers but not the price tag? It’s ridiculously easy to create your own. In this bonus training, we’ll show you how to turn a cheap $4 hammer into an epic texturing tool, so you can create amazing textures without breaking the bank.
And so much more...

Reviews
Anyone wanting to either start there jewelry making journey or progress further, this is the Course for you. In depth learning on every level. I can't stress enough how brilliant her classes are, you learn so much from her, and the creative kickstarters for me are always something that takes me out of my comfort zone. its a massively helpful online community, With every question answered super speedily.
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 ????????
So, What Sets the Metalsmith Academy Apart?
(Well actually, a whole damn lot!)
