Hollow Formed Jewellery

Picture

What is hollow form jewellery?

In jewellery and sculptural terms, a hollow form is a sealed shape or structure with an empty space inside. 

These hollow forms can encompass all sorts of designs - from rings to pendants, or even sealed containers.  You could even put little things inside of your container -  there are lots of options.

Come along and join us to create a hollow form piece - whether it is a hollow form ring or 
a sealed container.
​
​These also make a wonderful gift.
