    Do you have any advice for anyone thinking about learning to make jewellery but hasn't made the leap yet? Just do It. It's not so complicated and overwhelming than you think it is. And Jess is the best teacher!

    Foundation Course May 2025

    Visited from Switzerland

    What is your biggest takeaway from this experience?: That I really loved the whole process of jewellery making. From designing, to sawing to filing. And that we had such a nice group of people. It was just so much fun combining making and learning the most beautiful jewellery, having great talks and laughs together and have great meals. The whole idea of immersing into the craft for a whole week is just so amazing!

    What is your biggest takeaway from this experience?: My biggest takeaway is less about jewellery and more about life. That sitting around a table, creating, crafting and laughing with intelligent, interesting, kind people is absolutely the best way to spend your days.
