An Intimate Creative Workshop Experience (Maximum 5 Students)

Step away from routine.
Return to your hands.
Create with clarity.

This jewellery making retreat in Greece is a small-group, immersive experience designed for anyone looking to deepen their craft, focus on new collections, or reset creatively.

Workshops are limited to a maximum of 6 students.

Over six days, Monday to Saturday, you’ll enjoy hands-on jewellery workshops, including wax carving, silversmithing, and stone setting. Giving you personalised guidance, meaningful exchange, and space to explore your own creative voice.

Tuesday, a full day trip to explore the city of Thessaloniki and it’s museums.

Set between forest and sea in Halkidiki, Greece, the retreat takes place in my second workshop studio — the very place I grew up in my hometown. The space itself carries personal history and inspiration. The week blends technical development, cultural immersion, and uninterrupted creative time, including after visits to nearby archaeological sites and heritage landmarks that inform and inspire your practice.
