The Studio

I'm opening up my studio (virtually) to share my ways with those who'd like to learn from me to make their own jewellery, develop their creative voice and build a personal practice that supports their inner world.

The studio has three rooms... 

The Making

I share my techniques of making silver jewellery from home, guiding you to develop your own through experimentation and play.

The Meaning

We go beneath the surface and explore memory, symbol and identity to develop a unique visual language and build a world around your work.

The Practice

We work alongside each other as I share my process and thinking in real time, connecting with others and supporting each other.

The Studio takes place entirely online. You have six months to create your jewellery pieces and build a strong foundation for your practice.

During this time, you have access to all the material so you can work through it at your own pace.

We meet live for monthly group sessions and stay connected in a private group the rest of the time.

 

The program is suited both for beginners wanting to learn technique as well as established jewellery designers wanting to develop their distinct voice. It's designed to accommodate those balancing work or study with a pace that keeps the creative momentum flowing.

✧ The Format

We’ll be sculpting the pieces in wax using the lost wax method. Metal casting is outsourced, with detailed instructions and trusted contacts provided to make that part straightforward. Once cast, you’ll finish the pieces at home. This method works especially well for rings and pendants, which we’ll focus on, and I’ll also share my signature technique of combining silver with cold enamel, opening up creative possibilities for earrings and other forms.

 

Unlike the traditional approach taught in jeweller’s studios, this is my own adapted method, suited to creating pieces in my organic style, refined to minimise complexity and maximise the enjoyment of the process.

The cost of participation in the studio program is €277.

Monthly payment is available. If the full payment isn’t workable for you, write to me and we can find another way. I’m also open to artistic exchange where it feels right.

 

With regards to tools and materials, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all checklist. Instead, I consider individual preferences and budget and provide a list of essential tools and materials to begin with and add over time depending on your needs.

If you're someone who can afford silver jewellery, you can afford to start making your own, and after initial setup, making your own pieces becomes not only a lot more affordable, but deeply rewarding.

Entry to the Passage is by application.​

It matters to me to get to know each person joining us.

If you'd like to join the studio, you're welcome to send me an email, introducing yourself.

I'd love to know what draws you here, perhaps a few words about your creative background and a few images of your work/play/yourself would be lovely. 

The rest will unfold from there.

Generally, I write infrequently and with care - about the work, the process and thoughts I don't share on social media.
