CAD Classes for Jewellery Design

Learn how to design and model your own jewellery in 3D with professional CAD training from Stephen Barnett Jewellery in Farnham, Surrey.

I offer CAD for Jewellery design courses suitable for all skill levels — from complete beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced jewellers looking to expand their digital design skills.

Training is available in flexible formats:

Online one-to-one CAD classes tailored to your goals and schedule

Small group workshops where you can learn alongside other jewellers

In-person CAD sessions at my Farnham studio with optional hands-on follow-up classes

I primarily teach using Rhino CAD software, but can also provide tuition in MatrixGold upon request. View previous students designs below or find out about my taster classes.

CAD Design to Creation

For those who want to experience the full process, I also offer the opportunity to bring your CAD models to life in the workshop. You can come in for an in-person class to set stones, finish, and polish your pieces after casting — an invaluable experience for understanding how digital tolerances translate to real-world craftsmanship, especially in stone setting and fine detailing.

Whether you’re a hobbyist, student, or professional jeweller, my goal is to help you develop confidence and precision in CAD jewellery design and apply those skills directly at the bench.

“I’ve had a fantastic experience learning CAD for jewellery design with Stephen. His teaching is clear, structured, and incredibly supportive, especially helpful for someone like me coming from a traditional, hands-on background. Very good and skilled teacher. Highly recommended!”
