Signet rings have traditionally carried heritage – signifying who we are, where we come from, and who our ancestors were. During these classes, we will explore this symbolic dimension of jewellery through a series of creative exercises.

The outcome will not necessarily be a ring in its traditional form. Instead, the focus is on creating a meaningful object that embodies personal heritage—an imprint of identity. Participants will develop their pieces by engaging deeply with the story and significance of a chosen inherited object.

We welcome students who are already familiar with basic jewellery-making techniques such as cutting, soldering, filing, and polishing, and who wish to explore a more conceptual and personal approach to jewellery.

Participants are required to choose and bring a physical object directly connected to their family history or inheritance. During these classes, we will work about this object without directly engaging with it; the original piece will remain hidden and will be revealed only at the end, alongside the newly created work.

The creative exercises will guide participants into a deeper exploration of the chosen object, leading to its visual and conceptual reinterpretation.

The Art Intensive Studio classes are designed to guide participants through a process of experimentation and reflection, leading to original artistic expression. Emphasis is placed on the process rather than the final result: learning through making, remaining open to change, and allowing the final piece to evolve organically.
