per personThe workshop in detail
Learn all about handcrafted jewellery in a friendly, multilingual atmosphere (French, English and Dutch) at a one-day workshop run by Hade. The workshop is suitable for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of metalwork and take home a finished piece of jewellery, as well as those who have already completed an introductory course and wish to develop their soldering techniques further.
Throughout the day, you will create a piece of jewellery based on a model designed specifically for your level. If you are a beginner, you will work on a simple model to learn the basics. If you're slightly more advanced, you'll work on a more complex model to further develop your skills. Each model incorporates several techniques, enabling you to progress step by step to the final piece.
You will learn how to work with brass or copper, which is included in the price. If you wish, you can also work with silver, which is available at an additional cost. The workshop provides all the jewellery-making tools you need and you will benefit from Hade's expert advice throughout.
Depending on the day you choose, you will make a specific piece of jewellery, such as a wire ring, a pair of link earrings, a pendant made from domes or gutters, or a brooch with a clasp. You'll then go home with your finished creation!

Jewellery Designer and Goldsmith
As a child, Hade could spend hours at the local bead shop, making jewellery from the loot she got. As a teenager, jewellery making took a back seat, but the desire to be creative remained.
While studying architecture, she loved model making, office work a little less... Too much administration, too little creativity, too many regulations, too little control over the final result!
Her outlet? Travelling! She finally took the plunge, followed her passions and started training as a goldsmith in 2006. It turned out to be just what she was looking for: a mixture of technical skills and creativity, and a mastery of the final result. Her hands wanted to get back to work!
She sees her jewellery as buildings in miniature. As in architecture, the use of materials and the stability of the construction are important, things have to be calculated, ease of use has to be taken into account as well as aesthetics.
Today, she is not only a designer, but also a manufacturer: a breath of fresh air!
"The answers to what we are looking for are often very close to us. Sometimes it's about reconnecting with the fun we had when we were kids."
