The New Workshop


I have spent the last few weeks resurching materials and develpoing ideas for the jewellery project. Focus on combining mozaic with metal work. This will allow the jewellery to be sold along side the established mozaic workshop, as well as utalising the girls exsisting skill.

I am in the process of setting up the jewellery workshop in artist studios in Kathmandu, teaching begins on Tuesday. I spent today making benchpegs and fixing them to the desks. Which took a ridiculosly long time. The space is also being used for a print making project.
The workshop looks a bit empty at the moment but im sure it will be really busy soon!

Rolling Mills


Just walking down one of the side streets in Patan i came across a workshop making silver sheet and wire. It was really noise and all the mills spinning at top speed.
