PRIVATE WORKSHOP : Join Saskia, an experienced goldsmith and teacher, for an exclusive 8-hour private workshop where you’ll enjoy personalised guidance to create a truly unique jewel. This is your opportunity to reconnect with your old gold jewellery, infusing it with new life and meaning.
What to Prepare Before the Workshop
Gather your old gold jewellery that you’d like to transform. Think about what kind of piece you’d like to create and sketch out some ideas. You can also bring examples or photos of jewellery styles you admire. Don’t forget to bring both your gold and your sketches to the workshop!
What to Expect
The session begins with weighing your old gold, followed by a collaborative discussion about your ideas. Together, we’ll refine your concept and translate it into a clear design.
Next, the real magic begins:
- Under Saskia’s expert guidance, you’ll dismantle your old jewellery.
- You’ll melt your gold into a small bar, ready for transformation.
- Using foundational goldsmithing techniques, such as drawing down wire and shaping gold sheets, you’ll begin creating your design.
Throughout the process, Saskia will be there to support and guide you, ensuring you develop new skills while bringing your vision to life.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a stunning new piece of jewellery, made by your own hands.

The workshop is easily accessible by public transport.

She established her business in 1999. Since then, it has grown and shifted in many ways. At her workbench, she is like an alchemist, fusing materials with emotions.

She settled in London at the end of her studies, designed and made her own jewellery collections. Her creations were sold in shops, galleries and exhibitions.
Gemstones are a constant in her work. At the gemstone dealers, she feels like a child in a sweetshop. Sustainability is fundamental to her work. She is working with ethical, Fairmined materials in all her creations.
She is now working in her studio in Brussels since 2009. It is a city that inspires her designs through the energy of contemporary Belgian design. She chose to have her workshop in the Dansaert district, the creative hub of Brussels.
She loves creating something personal, together with her customers, giving their ideas a three-dimensional form, realizing their dream jewellery piece.
