Jewellery Course at the Goldsmith's
Learn to make jewellery – for beginners and those with some experience.
A sensory introduction to the goldsmith's craft – in peace, presence, and small groups.
Welcome to a creative sanctuary
Drømmer du om at lære guldsmedehåndværk og skabe dit eget smykke med dine hænder?
Nu kan du deltage i vores smykkekurser på Guldtranen ved det gamle Rådhus i Tranekær.
Vi arbejder i et lille hold med max 3 deltagere, så der er god tid til den enkelte.
Kurset gennemføres også ved én deltager.
Instruction with Presence and Expertise
The course is led by goldsmith Mille Heindorf, who will gently and expertly guide you into the world of goldsmithing. Classes take place in small, intimate groups with a maximum of five participants, allowing ample time for presence, guidance, and deep immersion in the process.
You will learn fundamental goldsmithing techniques while also having the opportunity to explore your own artistic expression. During the course, you will create a unique piece of jewellery that carries your personal story and energy. The process can be both meditative and inspiring – a special break from everyday life where creativity is allowed to flourish.
The Workshop – A Place Filled with Peace and Inspiration
The newly furnished workshop at the town hall is filled with light, warmth, and inspiration. Here, your hands are free to create while your thoughts settle.
Each participant has their own dedicated workstation, and the workshop is fully equipped with all the necessary goldsmithing tools – from saws, files, and soldering equipment to polishing machines and specialised tools. The space is designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, allowing you to work with focus in calm and beautiful surroundings.
Take Your Creation Home
During the course, you can also receive individual guidance on what you need to get started with your own small goldsmithing workshop at home – whether you dream of continuing it as a hobby or taking the first steps towards a more creative everyday life.
You don't need any prior experience – just the desire to learn and create. All materials and tools are provided during the course.
Nature Right Outside Your Door
Kursets placering midt i Tranekær gør det let at finde ro og ny inspiration i naturen. I pauserne er der rig mulighed for gåture i naturen. Her kan du lade tankerne vandre, mærke landskabets rytme og hente fornyet energi til det kreative arbejde ved værkstedsbordet.
Special Considerations
If you have any specific physical considerations, you are still warmly welcome.
Just let us know – the facilitator will help adapt the activities so you have a rewarding and enriching experience regardless. The most important thing is that you listen to your body and take good care of yourself.
Underviseren
Mille Heindorf
Mille Heindorf er både uddannet guldsmed og socialpædagog – en kombination, der skaber en særlig tryghed og dybde i hendes undervisning. Hun har arbejdet med smykkekunst siden 2006 og har mange års erfaring med at formidle det æstetiske håndværk på en nærværende og jordnær måde.
Til daglig er Mille en central del af teamet bag Tranekaer Centeret, hvor hun med passion og ro faciliterer kreative processer og meningsfulde møder mellem mennesker. Hendes tilgang er både fagligt funderet og menneskeligt varm – og hun brænder for at støtte andre i at udfolde deres skaberglæde.
Testimonials
“I had no idea I could create something so beautiful with my own hands. Mille creates a space where you dare to dive in – and are supported all the way.”

Get inspired
Here you can see examples of jewellery created by previous participants – for example, handmade rings with a personal touch, pendants inspired by nature, or small symbols forged in silver. Each piece holds its own story – shaped with hands, heart, and curiosity. You will experience how materials, symbols, and personal choices are transformed into small works of art with soul and character.
Many participants describe the course as a creative oasis and an unforgettable experience that brought both calm, pride, and new creative joy.

You will also have the opportunity to work in the goldsmith's workshop during breaks if you wish.
Similarly, you can always take a break from the workshop whenever you need to.
(Hvis du får brug for at ankomme lidt senere eller gå lidt tidligere, f.eks. ifht den offentlige transport hertil. Så giver du bare underviseren direkte besked på forhånd.)
Materialer
Vi har både sølv, bronze, kobber og messing på lager til at arbejde med. Materialer beregnes individuelt alt afhængig af dit design og materialevalg. Priserne starter fra omkring 30 kroner ved bronze og 300 kroner ved sølv til at lave et flot smykke.
You are also welcome to bring your own materials, such as stones or old gold/silver, to the course. We will work with simple melting and casting techniques, where the metal can be transformed into, for example, spheres or beautiful, organic shapes by pouring the molten metal into water. This gives you the chance to create a unique piece of jewellery with a personal story and new energy.
Experience
You do not need any experience with goldsmith craftsmanship to participate in the course. The course is for anyone interested.
To ensure you complete your project, we generally recommend creating the following types of jewellery, based on your experience with goldsmithing:
If you are a beginner: Pendants or earrings.
Har du lidt erfaring: Vedhæng, ørehængere, en smal fingerring.
If you have more experience: Pendants, earrings, stud earrings, a narrow/wide ring, or a brooch.
Setting
You can easily create simple settings for raw stones and natural materials, either by wrapping threads to hold them or by gluing them together. The facilitators will guide you on this, depending on your design.
Setting faceted gemstones:
- If you have experience setting faceted gemstones and do not require teaching, you will also be able to work with settings on the course. The tools are available.
- If you do not have experience with this type of setting, it will require a separate setting course to learn the basic techniques for that part.
