Finish Your Pieces to Perfection With Unique Textures…
(and Avoid Polishing-Related Headaches!)
There’s a reason so many jewelers (including me) fall in love with texturing - it’s one of the easiest ways to add instant character, depth, and handmade charm to your work.
Whether you’re chasing a raw and organic feel, finishing with liver of sulfur for a distinctly different look, or everything in between, we’ve got you covered. Texturing is the perfect weapon to transform your simple pieces into something truly one-of-a-kind. And the best part? You don’t need fancy tools or years of experience to get started - you just need a few good techniques (and a bit of playtime at the bench).
Whether you’re brand new to jewelry-making or you’ve been at it for years, exploring texture is a total game-changer. It’s fun, forgiving, and full of creative potential, and we’ve got everything you need to get started.
Master the Art of Polishing for That Bright, Perfect Shine
(Without Losing Your Mind or Buying Every Polishing Tool on the Planet)
Once your texture is on point, it’s time to dial in that perfect shine - but polishing can feel like a total minefield. Tumblers, polishing motors, flex shaft attachments galore… it’s easy to wonder, “Which of these 273 polishing bits do I actually need?” Good news - you don’t need them all. In fact, most do a pretty similar job. It’s not about having every tool under the sun - it’s about what you do with them that counts. Inside the Metalsmith Academy, we take out the guesswork. Our classes and resources walk you through exactly how to tackle those pesky imperfections (looking at you, sneaky solder spills), and share our tried-and-tested favorite tools. We’ve done the experimenting so you don’t have to. Let us show you how to get that flawless, scratch-free shine without losing your sanity (or half your paycheck).

Here’s What Texturing & Polishing Techniques You Can Learn (and Master) Inside the Metalsmith Academy:
How to Choose the Right Polishing Bits
So. Many. Options. But don’t stress - it really comes down to three simple rules. Does it fit where you need it? Will it ruin your crisp details? And are you working through from coarse to fine like sandpaper? Easy. We’ll walk you through our fave bits and how to use them in every class.
Tumbling for a Quick and Easy Finish
Some say tumbling’s cheating - we say it’s genius. If you’re making affordable jewelry that actually sells, this little workhorse will be your new bestie. From steel shot to all the other media options, we’ll show you exactly what to use (and when) to get the best results.
JoolTool vs Polishing Motor
The big question: which should you buy? Honestly, they both have pros and cons - and yep, we’ll show you how to use each like a pro. But when it comes to choosing, we’ll help you weigh it all up so you can decide what works best for you.
Bur Textures
One of my absolute faves. Once you get the hang of bur control, the possibilities are endless. And bonus - these skills are brilliant prep for more advanced stone setting too (hello, fancy prongs and bezels!)
Rolling Mill Textures
Quick, easy, fun - and seriously addictive. You’ll be rolling everything in sight once you see the magic this technique can bring to your metal.
Welded Textures
Got a welder? You’re not limited to permanent jewelry. We’ll show you how to use yours to create gorgeous gold borders and dimensional details you’ll be obsessed with.
Hammer Textures
Sure, you probably know the basics - but we’ll show you how to push hammer textures further, using them in unconventional ways to make your work pop.
Punch Textures
An easy, low-tech way to add texture with loads of control. And the best bit? You can make your own punches from nails that cost next to nothing.
DIY Texture Tools
Love all those fancy hammers but not the price tag? We’ll show you how to make your own epic texturing tools without blowing the budget.
Hammer Handpiece Textures
These little power tools are like mini hammers with finesse. Modify the anvils just a bit and suddenly - you’ve got a whole new world of textures to play with.
WARNING: Our Member-Only Texturing Resources Will Leave You Addicted to This Finish
Plus, you’ll learn tons more skills including how to:
How to Make a Textured Setting Punch

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 ????????

We recommend watching the class before making any purchases.
Unfortunately, we can’t provide a specific answer to that question. It depends on the tools you decide to purchase and the quality. We try to include as many options as possible in our classes so that students can make choices based on their budget, but to be honest, tools are not cheap.
The videos are only playable through the website and so are not downloadable.
Absolutely you can! It would be pretty tough to work with your laptop on your workbench.
If you do want that little extra support, don’t worry at all – that is one of the main reasons why we launched our membership. Lucy, Vennice and the team will be active in the forums daily to help with any problems you might be having with the classes.
