Jessica Hickman woolcott owner founder tutor at the Cognac Jewellery School teaching online jewellery courses

Hi, I’m Jessica

I’m delighted to be your tutor on this exciting journey into the wonderful world of jewellery making!

With over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching countless students, helping them turn their creative dreams into beautiful, tangible pieces of jewellery and silverware.

My love for silversmithing goes beyond just crafting; it’s all about sharing the joy and skills that come with it. That’s why I created the Cognac Jewellery School Online Pro. I believe in the power of continuous learning and growth, which is why I develop a brand new online course every month just for you!

Each course is designed to inspire, spark your creativity, and help you expand your skills, so you’ll always have exciting projects to dive into. 

Through this membership, I invite you into my studio, where we’ll create together. I’ll share all my secrets with you as I guide you step-by-step as you handcraft your own nature-inspired jewellery using both traditional and modern techniques.

I can’t wait to see what we’ll create together!

“I like the business hub cause starting a business is so overwhelming and how to price your stuff for example is so handy to learn from experienced people”.
