I designed and made my own jewels, having the possibility to work with these two
subjects in parallel.
I also practice with soft and hard wax, and enamelling.
I attended a metal-forging workshop with Giovanni Corvaja in my second Year.
2003:
I improved my creative qualities (collage, clay modelling, assemblage and composition
with poor materials ) to understand better and to improve, through the practical

In the meantime,
I started creating my first jewellery collections, using new and recycled materials.
This experience allowed me to experiment with various materials.and to start my
own research.

in London.
