Unleash your creativity and develop essential skills in this beginner-friendly Jewellery Making Course. Over a series of 10 sessions, you’ll be introduced to the foundational techniques of jewellery design and creation. Whether you’re new to the craft or looking to strengthen your skills, this course will guide you through every step of the process, from basic design concepts to advanced metalworking.
The course will be taught by the exceptionally talented Gabriel Farrugia. A skilled artisan with a Bachelor of Arts in Jewellery Design from the renowned IED – Istituto Europeo di Design, Gabriel brings a wealth of expertise in sculpture, silverware, jewellery, and other artisanal creations. Gabriel’s mastery in design has earned him recognition for his latest work: the crown for the solemn coronation of Our Lady of Fatima in Guardamangia, Malta—a piece both designed and crafted by him.
