Although restrictions have been lifted, we continue to take care to minimise the risk of covid

We have a number of measures in place to ensure that both staff and customers are as safe as possible.

What are London Jewellery Workshop doing to minimise the risks?

• Every surface including workbenches, tools and equipment are cleaned regularly and wiped with an appropriate sanitiser between each use
• Perspex screens surround each work station
• We will ensure adequate ventilation using our extraction unit and with open doors whenever possible
• Teaching will be managed to allow for social distancing as much as possible within the space. At times it will be necessary to be closer to your tutor, for example when they are demonstrating or when individual support is required
• Staff will not shake your hand (or hug you) on arrival or departure
• Students are only able to use the tool sets provided for them at their workbench. Your tutor will provide you with anything else you might need
• Free movement in the studio is managed differently. For example we ask that if there is someone in the sink/polishing area, that you wait until they have finished before you approach
• We share the toilets with all the other studios in the block, we therefore cannot be held responsible for their hygiene or your safety if you choose to use them.
• If you show symptoms before or following your booking, you should contact London Jewellery Workshop immediately to let us know

What will we require from you:

• Please use the hand sanitiser provided upon entering the workshop
• Please wear additional layers if the weather requires, so that we can keep the doors open as much as possible
• Please do not arrive too early for your lesson. If necessary, you should wait outside the studio until the appointed time
• Please provide your own mask for use when there is a need to be close to your tutor or others. This is not compulsory but would be appreciated
• A cotton apron is highly recommended, we would usually provide these to every student, however that still isn’t possible at the moment. Please bring your own apron to avoid any cross contamination.
• Although we would usually offer refreshments such as hot or cold drinks, we will not be able to do so at the moment. Please bring any drinks with you. (Non-alcoholic of course for health and safety reasons)
• Please do not help yourself to tools, your tutor will provide you with everything you need and tidy it all away after the lesson once cleaned and saniitised

If you are displaying symptoms and think you may have the virus, we ask that you please keep us updated by emailing nina@londonjewelleryworkshop.co.uk
