Dates for February-March

Experience a unique creative process – from clay to wearable jewelry.
In a group course on making jewelry using Bronze clay, you will learn to work with a material that looks like clay in its raw state, but turns into solid metal after firing.

The course lasts 4 hours in total and is divided into two parts:

  1. Sculpting (2.5 h) – you will be introduced to bronze material, I will show you basic techniques and you will create your own piece of jewelry. In this course, we will focus on hand sculpting of bronze material and the basics of working with it using hand sculpting tools.

  2. Completion (in a week) (1.5 h) – your clay piece of jewelry needs to dry for a few days and then it must be fired in a special kiln. After firing, you will sand, polish and add a chain or other components that you will receive during the course.

  • ALTERNATIVE OPTION if the date of the second part (completion) does not suit you - you can choose the version where you will only pick up the finished products, which I will polish for you and add jewelry components to, or you can come to the second part on another available date after agreement with me in case I have an open spot for you in the given group. I need to be notified in advance if you choose this option. This is completely optional and choosing this alternative option has no effect on the price of the course, the price of the course is fixed. 

📍 Location: Atelier Objectora - Nová Cvernovka, Račianska 78 , Bratislava - Nové Mesto

The course is also suitable for complete beginners - no experience with jewelry making is necessary.

At the end, you will take home a finished bronze piece of jewelry that you created with your own hands.

The price includes:
✔ 10 g of bronze clay per person (this will make 3 smaller or two medium pieces of jewelry)
✔ Tool rental
✔ Professional guidance

✔kiln firing

✔ chains and components to complete the jewelry

✔ Finished jewelry

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can bring old 925/1000 sterling silver jewelry to be reworked for the silver jewelry making workshop and the wedding ring making workshop. However, please note that it is not possible to bring gold jewelry to be reworked, as these are beginner workshops and working with gold requires more skill. If you are interested in remaking old gold jewelry into new pieces, please visit my Custom section. It is also not possible to bring old jewelry to be reworked for the wood and brass jewelry making workshop.

My workshops are intended for adults, we work with sharp tools and use fire when working with silver. For this reason, the workshops are absolutely not suitable for children, without exception, even when accompanied by a parent.

In the silver jewelry making workshop, we focus mainly on the following techniques: cutting, bending and shaping, hammering, filing, grinding, embossing, and soldering.

At the wood and brass jewelry making workshop: cutting, bending and shaping, hammering, filing, grinding, embossing and cold joining (we do not solder).

There is no casting in the workshops, as this is a more advanced technique and my workshops focus on the basics.
