ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

If you have ever wanted to bring out your creative side, then these workshops are the perfect place for it. In these 3-5 hour workshops you will learn the range of basic skills in the art of jewellery making. You will be guided by Corinne, who has over 7 years teaching and over 19 years of jewellery making experience, as she helps you navigate the variety of processes and design elements.

These classes are great for individuals ready to try something new or to grab a couple of friends and make a day of it. Located in the Southern Highlands, just over 1 hour from Sydney or Wollongong and 2 hours from Canberra. The area boasts beautiful walks, wineries, and unique country boutiques.

The results of the workshop will be you producing your own unique piece of jewellery that you can wear straight out of the studio. As each class size is small, you get lots of one on one guidance to help you achieve the best results possible. Book in early to ensure your spot. Most workshop days have back to back workshops so feel free to book both in order to have a full day of creating!

All workshops includes all materials needed as well as tea, coffee and a plate of snacks to keep you going while getting creative.

Workshops open to ages 11 and up.
