The Mock-Up: First Sculptural Vision of the Jewel (12 to 16 years old)

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. Then comes the mock-up stage, first interpretation of a jewel in three dimensions.

Seated at the jeweler's workbench, and guided by experts, the teenagers become familiar with the jewelry making professions and learn more about the specific techniques involved in making jewelry mock-ups.

The participants can bring home their tin mock-up inspired by the collections of the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels.

Offering a unique educational experience both authentic and fun, the creative workshops of L'ÉCOLE allow raising awareness on creative professions for young people from 6 to 16 years old. Also, the workshops stimulate their imagination so they can discover new realms of creativity.

• Open to teenagers from 12 to 16 years old.
• The workshop is led by two lecturers, one of whom is a High Jewelry mock-up maker.
• All necessary equipment is provided on site.
