Porcelain Jewellery Necklaces and Broches with Luca Tripaldi

Porcelain Jewelry – Necklaces and broches, with Luca Tripaldi

The possibility of creating jewelry that combines delicacy, strength, and elegance.
Lightweight, sophisticated, and durable pieces, with a finish that needs no embellishment to stand out.

That is what porcelain offers.

This workshop is designed as an excellent first approach to porcelain, working in small formats to gain a deep understanding of the material: how it behaves, how it is shaped, how it dries, and how it transforms in the kiln.

Everything you learn here can later be applied to larger-scale pieces, if your interest goes beyond jewelry.

Why porcelain for jewelry?

✅ It is a noble material, vitrified at high temperature and extremely strong
✅ Its whiteness and texture are pleasant even when unglazed
✅ It allows for elegant, contemporary, and long-lasting finishes
✅ It is ideal for ceramic jewelry thanks to its lightness and durability
✅ Many of its techniques can be easily transferred to larger objects (functional ware, wall pieces, sculptures)

Who is it for

This course is aimed at jewelers, ceramic artists, and accessory lovers.
No previous experience is required.
