Sondi's jewellery workshop
Sondi's custom-made jewellery is well-loved
and collected not only by Blue Mountains cognoscenti but by lovers of beautiful
contemporary jewellery
Australia-wide.
Sondi's schedule alternates between busy solitude
when she works on her speciality lines, and the sociable weekend workshops
held monthly, when she shares her skills and her
excellent workshop with 4-5 people who wish to learn about jewellery
making. No previous experience is necessary.
Recent
participants expected to make one item
of jewellery each over the two-day work-shop—usually this was a beautiful
silver ring. In just the first day, Andrew completed and embellished an elegant
man's ring and both participants had set about designing and, under Sondi's
knowledgeable eye, actually completed unique pieces of silver neckware and
an art deco brooch.
Sondi enjoys these occasions as much as her protegées, sharing in their
excitement at learning a new skill and their pleasure on leaving with a professionally
finished piece of jewellery.
