What you'll do
Who doesn't have a stash of unworn & broken jewellery in their bottom drawer?
Empty your jewellery drawers girls. It is time to transform your broken inherited and pre loved jewels to create wearable jewellery or simply just make a one off statement piece!
Thrift, revamping, reclaiming & recycling have become synonymous with craft in recent years. Reacting against the technological advances of the 21st century, ostentation is fading & bigger issues: sustainability, climate change, global poverty, & ethical trading are becoming important.
Remember: you do not have to spend a fortune nor buy pieces in mint condition, especially when you are going to cut it up, pull it apart or restring it!
Give old jewellery a fresh lease of life & bring a vintage charm to your designs through an inspired use of beads & charms. Bring your own broken treasures & create something wearable. You will also receive valuable tips in cleaning & preserving your jewellery.
** Materials Not Included in Price

ABOUT YOUR JEWELLERY TUTOR:
Christine Smalley is the Founder and Creative Director of Etelage. Her signature designs are bold beaded necklaces and intricately detailed earrings. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of jewellery design in jewellery workshops & travels the globe to source beautiful artisan components. Christine draws inspiration from the modern deco 1920s style, 1960s jet set glamour and some 1970s boho chic all of which governs her artistic expression.
She observes that generally as a society we are becoming more mindful about our choices: conscious of choosing products which are made using artisan traditions & not mass produced, and seeking quality over quantity. So it is with that philosophy she shares her skills and knowledge of jewellery design to encourage all her students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local.
Christine creates a teaching environment where participants can share ideas, be inspired and let their imaginations run wild! With over 16 years teaching experience Christine is dedicated to empowering her students to become better designers and better makers, equipping them with skills and confidence to create whatever her students dream!

Your teacher
I founded Etelage (French for adornment) in 2002, fueled with a passion for women to exude their notable and authentic style through jewellery.
I am a local inner west, Sydney jewellery designer, passionate educator, author, community-spirited and sustainable style advocate. My ambition is to help you develop excellent technical jewellery making and design skills and inspire you to greater creative depth in your jewellery making adventures using beautiful modern and vintage elements sourced ethically and sustainably.
I observe that generally as a society we are becoming more mindful about our choices: conscious of choosing products which are made using artisan traditions and not mass produced, and seeking quality over quantity. So it is with that philosophy that I share my skills and knowledge of jewellery design to encourage all my students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local.
My goal always is to create a teaching environment where participants can share ideas, be inspired and let their imaginations run wild! With over 17 years teaching experience I am dedicated to empowering my students to become better designers and better makers, equipping them with skills and confidence to create whatever my students dream!
Learn how to string chunky necklaces, knot eclectic beads, link chandelier earrings, use buttons and buckles in jewellery design, and more at our friendly and intimate studio spaces in Rozelle and Summer Hill (April 2020). Alternatively we can travel to your venue. (for group bookings only)
I invite you to come and learn some simple jewellery making techniques with a local jeweller, which will impress you as well as your friends.
Etelage jewellery workshops are perfect for individuals, corporate bookings or a group of friends.
Let's make and play together and unlock your inner creative!
