Saw Piercing Workshops
Learn how to saw pierce metal and make intricate jewellery like a master in jewellery making workshops with Clare Davidson, the creator of Skadi Jewellery Design.
Meet your tutor
Clare Davidson graduated from Curtin University of Technology with a Bachelor of Arts – Jewellery Design in 2008 where she discovered she loved making jewellery even more than she loved wearing it. In her final year at University Skadi Jewellery Design was born. Using silver, brass and occasionally gold, Clare loves to create works of art which appear as delicate as lace with the strength of metal. Almost every day from her first day of university over 16 years ago until now, Clare has been hand piercing intricate designs and takes great joy in passing on her thousands of hours of experience to help inspire other people. Very few people realise that when done correctly, saw piercing can be a form of meditation and Clare believes that’s a message worth spreading!
If you can’t physically attend a jewellery making workshops you can read the blog post on HOW TO START SAW PIERCING or email clare@skadijewellery.com to organise an online tutorial.
