Last Friday I took the 2nd year Jewellery Students from where I am a jewellery technician/Demonstrator at North Wales School of Art and Design ttp://www.nwsad.co.uk/ to the jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. I have visited the jewellery quarter on a few occasions but hadn't been to the jewellery museum. It was like an Aldan's cave. It had been left pretty much how the owners had left it over 50 years ago. Everything from the tools,machines and the the torches are still in full working order. They do daily tours of the museum where a guide takes you around and talks you though the history of smith and pepper ltd . Well worth a visit.
After been wowed by the museum we went along to the jewellery tool shops. I always think its great to actually see and get the feel of tools before you buy them so this was a good opportunity to do just that.
