Being the first school in Devon to teach jewellery and silversmithing to adults, the Academy of Precious Metal Arts is located behind the Mill Building in Bickleigh, near Tiverton. 

Nigel Harris Price  BA Hons, Cert Ed, MIfL, has put together a custom workshop in the Redearth Studios complex.

His wealth of experience in fabrication and design in silver and gold allows students to quickly grasp the essential skills and techniques in a set project to launch them forward into their own project design, their limitations being only that of their imagination.  Projects include rings, bracelets, brooches, pendants, bowls, cups and chalices - all little pieces of sculpture in their own right. Students use the workshop tools and copper for their first project, but are encouraged to buy their own materials and tools as they progress.
