I am dedicated to creating hands-on workshops focused on jewellery making fundamentals and design tips. My goal is to foster a fun and engaging environment where participants can share ideas, be inspired, and let their imaginations run wild.
Fuelled with a passion for women to exude their notable and authentic style, my goal is to encourage all my students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local.
Workshops are held in a friendly and intimate studio space in the Summer Hill Flour Mill precinct. Alternatively, I offer a mobile service and can travel to your venue. (home, Airbnb or hotel for group bookings only)
