A few beautiful pieces made in recent Adelaide Fringe workshops✨

I always love seeing how different each piece turns out, even when everyone starts from the same process.

There are still a few spots left for this Saturday and next Sunday if you’ve been thinking of joining me.

A relaxed, hands-on jewellery making experience where you create your own silver piece to take home. No experience needed.

I’ve had lots of recent interest in gift cards for my jewellery making workshops, and it’s such a lovely way to gift an experience rather than a thing.

If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on experience for someone you love, something creative, thoughtful, and memorable, you still have a few days to organise a workshop gift card 💛

Perfect for beginners, curious makers, or anyone who enjoys slowing down and making with their hands, end results are surprisingly sparkling and wearable!

Gift cards can be emailed and redeemed for any upcoming workshop.
More details via the link in my bio or send me a DM.

I’m very honoured to be featured by Adelaide Business Hub for my journey as Shirley Wu Jewellery.
Earlier this year, I joined their Digital Solutions program, and later the Women in Business program. Through these, I had the opportunity to work closely with Sonia Laucke Quisk - A branding, design & digital studio , who encouraged me to commit to a new website, develop a more intentional marketing plan, and refine my business proposal.

When I first started, I had no formal business foundation, just my art practice and a willingness to learn. If you’re an artist, maker, or creative trying to make your business or practice more sustainable, I hope my story is a reminder that support does exist. Programs like these are out there to help us grow, and we don’t have to figure everything out on our own.

The Adelaide Business Hub team did an amazing job connecting me with the right expert at the right time, and that support has helped me take the next step while staying true to my work.
