Whether you are an experienced jeweller or this is your first time exploring metals and you simply want to enjoy a creative afternoon, you’ve come to the right place. Here, you’ll discover a variety of workshop options to explore.
Dive into the fundamentals of metalsmithing, covering everything from the essential tools and the best metals for different projects to applying textures and patterns, hand-cutting intricate designs, and much more. You can also try your hand at Silversmithing, where you’ll learn soldering techniques to join metals using fire, how to shape metal into balls, flowers, or boxes, or the art of chain making. There’s truly something for everyone, and I’m thrilled to share my knowledge with you to ensure this creative journey is as enjoyable as possible.
“Metal Texturisation has always been an area of interest in my jewellery practice. In 2015 I began teaching the fundamentals of texturisation and patternation across various jewellery forms. The feeling of developing a design, watching it take fruition before your eyes is an exciting process and I just wanted to share the experience with everyone.”

PAST STUDENT DESIGNS
Here is some inspiration from my past students. Every piece is uniquely different, no two designs are ever the same and each one tells a little story about its maker/designer/artist/jeweller.
What do you think about these creations?
Do you think you could make something like this too?
These students put their trust and faith in me and I helped them bring out their confidence and skills and gave them the knowledge to succeed.
Do you have the courage to give it a go too?
If you said YES then what are you waiting for?
Let's do this!

Would you rather participate in a private one-on-one workshop or host a personalised workshop at your home that meets your and your friends' specific needs?
If your answer is YES, that's fantastic! I would be thrilled to support your growth as an artist/s and develop a customised workshop that suits everyone.
