a new concept in jewellery making!

Enter the world of the alchemist, melting and joining materials to create your own unique jewellery. Under Sondi's knowledgeable eye, join 4-5 people to learn about jewellery making. No previous experience is necessary.

Weekend workshops are held in the bush studio in Wentworth Falls in the spectacular Blue Mountains. You will gain a range of skills, including sawing, filing, wire work, hammering and soldering. Participants will make a silver ring on the first day, and a piece of their choice on the second day-for eg: a brooch or a pendant, leaving with professionally finished pieces of jewellery.

Sondi specialises in mokumé gane, and her custom-made jewellery is well-loved and collected not only by Blue Mountains cognoscenti but by lovers of beautiful contemporary jewellery Australia-wide. Her work is carried by, Katoomba Fine Arts and recently, her work has been published in the book 500 Brooches.

After the workshop, you will still have time to explore the Blue Mountains, perhaps staying in one of the many B&Bs in the area.
