OUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Christine Smalley Founder and Creative Director of Etelage (est
2002), shares her passion for artisan traditions and vintage design. Drawing inspiration from 1920s deco style, 1960s jet set glamour and
1970s boho chic governs her artistic expression. She observes that
generally as a society we are becoming more mindful about our choices: conscious of choosing products which are made using artisan traditions and not mass produced, and seeking quality over quantity. So it is with that philosophy all Etelage tutors shares her skills and knowledge of jewellery design to encourage all students to awaken their creative soul and seek beauty, slow, artisan and local.

All Etelage tutors have a WWCC “working with children check” and they are updated every 5 years.
