Unleash your creativity in this vibrant and hands-on jewellery-making workshop! In just four hours, you’ll discover how to transform pre anodised aluminium sheet into stunning, wearable art using a variety of surface design and metalworking techniques.

Once your surface designs are complete, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of cutting, shaping, doming and finishing your creations into striking jewellery pieces.
