Bring the ring of your dreams to life with Frédérique by your side.

Upon arriving at the workshop, you'll be warmly welcomed by this passionate jeweller. You'll start by getting to know her and exploring the studio. Frédérique will take the opportunity to teach you the theoretical foundations of jewellery-making: the tools, techniques and metals used.

Then, it's time to dive into the hands-on part of the workshop! The artisan will first guide you through designing your ring: you can choose a round disc (available in 9 sizes), various wires (round, square, in different thicknesses) or strips (from thin to wide). You'll also select your preferred metal: copper, brass or silver.

Next, you'll shape your chosen wire to form your ring, customising the size with a mandrel before soldering it. Frédérique will guide you through each step, from creating the disc to customising with a texturing hammer – whether it be ball, line, point... there's something for every taste.

After the essential finishing touches, you'll leave with your stunning ring on your finger, a testament to a workshop filled with creativity.

Meet Frédérique

Jeweller

After several years in public administration, Frédérique decided to forge a new path in 2009.

With a degree in fashion design and pattern making already under her belt, she refined her vision and signed up for a jewellery design course. In tandem, she broadened her expertise with a variety of sessions exploring textiles in all their aspects, from design to knitting.

That same year, she launched her own jewellery line, which she named JAD, an acronym for Jewellery, Art, and Design.

Starting in 2016, she began offering a range of beginner courses and workshops in jewellery and goldsmithing, both face-to-face and online, working alongside fellow artisans.

With a passion for her craft, a curious mind, and a talent for teaching, Frédérique eagerly invites you into her world of techniques and materials, for an immersion into a craft that is as magical as it is sophisticated!

I had a great time learning about techniques of working with metal, and I enjoyed diving into the work while learning from our patient and talented teacher

C'était un vrai plaisir de créer ma bague avec les explications de Frédérique. Toutes les étapes ont été très clair. Je remercie Frédérique pour sa gentillesse et patiente. J'y retournerai pour un prochain bijou. A présent Je comprends mieux le temps que prends une création de bijou. N'hésitez surtout pas à vous inscrire.

Frédérique Coomans est très pédagogue et patiente. J'ai trouvé ça passionnant de découvrir un métier en pratiquant soi-même. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Merci :-)

Nous étions trois amies venues s’initier à la fabrication d’une bague en argent. Ce fut un beau moment ! Frédérique est très pédagogue. Ambiance sympa. Super résultat !
