Experience the mock-up maker's gestures while creating a pewter mock-up, the first three-dimensional interpretation of the jewel. Cut a butterfly out of metal, shape it, and decorate it with rhinestones. 

About the Course

Once the design is finished, the process of creating a jewel begins with a “gouaché” painted design, depicting its color, shape, and volume in actual size.

Using various sources of inspiration, understand the three stages which allow a jewel to be represented in two dimensions: the drawing, the tracing, and the gouaché.

We also offer a 4-hour course allowing you to discover, through a more complete offer, not only the technique of the mock-up and also the first step in creating a piece of jewelry, the design: "From Design to Mock-up"
