Workshops at GINA MELOSI
Learn the art of jewellery making in a working designer's studio.
Join Berlin jewellery designer Gina Melosi in her Lichtenberg studio for intimate, hands-on workshops exploring wax carving, jewellery design and contemporary making processes.
Designed for complete beginners, these small-group sessions offer an introduction to the traditional lost-wax technique, guiding participants from an initial idea through to a finished piece cast in precious metal.
Working in Berlin's first Fairmined-certified jewellery studio, you'll gain insight into materials, design and production while creating a unique piece of your own in a relaxed and supportive environment.
No previous experience is required - just curiosity, creativity and a willingness to experiment.
“The instructions were clear and it was really evident what an expert you are. Gina’s years of experience really show!
I really enjoyed working on the wax. It’s so absorbing!”
“I liked the calm, collected and detailed explanations/demo time.
I think Gina has a very well-balanced presence, awareness, patience.”
“I had an absolutely amazing afternoon at Gina’s studio, losing track of time and space, while learning the basics of ring making.”
