Description
Learn Jewellery Making and Become an Accomplished Artisan at Our Jewellery Making Atelier
This is a unique opportunity to spend one day a week working with Melanie Ihnen, a skilled and caring educator who is also a talented jeweller with her own practice. She will assist you in creating unique pieces no matter what level you are at. On Wednesdays join our slightly shorter (5 hour class) Jewellery Making Atelier, led by Momoko Hatano, bringing her extensive expertise & creativity to the class.
The Jewellery Making Atelier is an exciting course for students just starting their jewellery-making adventure or those at an intermediate level or above. Offering a broad range of subjects and techniques, participants are encouraged to produce – through the process of design and making – jewellery pieces that are individual in design and well-made.
Whether you’re working with Melanie on Thursday or Momoko on Wednesday, you’ll receive expert guidance and the opportunity to refine your skills.
Come and enjoy the camaraderie of making with like-minded people!
