This body of work, built of uncommon sacred objects + symbolic shapes, explore Totems, Talismans + colors of bright+ vivid, light and dark and are inspired by my travels though the dusty Sahara Desert of Morocco + vibrant streets of Mexico, building on the themes of expansiveness + protection.

In this 5-day hands on workshop, learn + explore new  ideas and solutions for building jewelry from my most current body of work.

I’ll teach you my unique techniques for bezel setting, connections and cold + hot joins to create your personal sacred jewelry while capturing mindful objects, vibrant gems, and unique stones.

You will explore and learn how to build small hollow forms that I use as prayer boxes to carry as talismans.

Learn my techniques for expanded granulation, cold join hinges, and unique bezel setting ideas.

Experiment with positive and negative space to make a piece visually  more powerful.

Learn techniques for balance and assembly into jewelry totems.

Your finished work will be a body of personal work meant for ceremonial.
