The Jeweller’s Box

Workshop

Welcome to The Jeweller’s Box workshop series. Here you will find my upcoming workshop program for 2026. These workshops are focused on the absolute beginner and those who have previous experience but might want to learn a little more about metalsmithing processes and techniques.

Workshops are conducted upstairs in the SB Libris Bindery centrally located in View Street Bendigo, in the heart of Bendigo’s arts precinct! Participant numbers are restricted to maximum 6 participants to allow for detailed and focused instruction for each student and run from 9:30am to 4pm, with a half hour lunch break.

I have over 15 years teaching experience in the art of jewellery making, from beginner to advanced process and techniques. I guarantee you will walk away with your very own personalized piece of wearable art from each workshop. You will also receive instructional notes, and materials for each project. A full resource of tools for each project will be available for use to each student.
