AFRICAN ADVENTURES

We will be visited by GIA certified gemologist - a professional friend of Cat’s - Hewan of Agere Treasures who support artisanal miners of sub-Saharan Africa - specifically those of Ethiopia. Seismic activities, since the ice ages, have shaped the geological formation of the region. As a result, the Ethiopian plateau is rich of sedimentary rocks that house some of the world’ finest, rarest and most sought after gemstones.

We will create jewelry in an environment that enlivens your excitement about travelling for all your senses.

Your experience ammenities include: 

• Visiting gemologist + jewelry artist Hewan Zwedi  
• Ethiopian tea and cookies
• Exotic Escapade lotion
• Recycled travel journal + pencil
• GRACE GOW giveaway bag with GG Polishing cloth + gift. 

Jump Aboard Your Jewelry Making Journey: Travel As Inspiration

WANDERING WAYS

“Longing we say because desire is full of endless distances." ~ Robert Hass

This workshop is a ritual where we create a piece of fine jewelry inspired by our past travels – or upcoming adventures– and create jewelry that honors the place, the people and experiences that change our lives.

Commemorate an expedition in community as we channel the inspiration of our individual and collective journeys through jewelry making.Bring along a trinket from a past adventure that speaks to your wanderlust.
