What we do
The Jazzy Jewelz Studio™ is a warm and friendly jewellery making studio where you can design and create your very own masterpiece with expert tuition.
We offer a range of beading workshops, glass fusing classes, and creative jewellery making parties for all ages and abilities.
We are passionate, dedicated & very experienced at running our parties.
Established in 2009, we have been organising and hosting fun and creative beading parties for more than 10 years and have provided hundreds of jewellery making activities & workshops to schools, community venues, clubs, festivals and corporate events in Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Although we do love working with grown ups, we are absolutely passionate about entertaining children and encouraging them to proudly shout "Look What I've Made!" rather than "Look What I've Got!"
Our main aim is to introduce children to jewellery making through well designed projects that stimulate their creativity and raise their self-esteem, motivation & their confidence in their own abilities.
Beading is an excellent craft activity for children: it's a rewarding way to learn new skills and to express themselves. It also stimulates their imagination and helps develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills such as planning and problem-solving. But above all, it is great fun!
Our jewellery making parties are tailored to age, gender and number of participants, so that everyone at the event can have fun and go home with a gorgeous piece of handmade jewellery they’ll be proud to wear.
Our easy-to-make jewellery making kits and educational craft activities are specifically designed to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Suitable from ages 5+yrs, with adult assistance, they will help develop early dexterity skills and encourage your child's creative style to flourish. Beautifully presented, they also make perfect gifts for creative people of any age.
About me
Hello!
My name is Aurora and I'm the owner of The Jazzy Jewelz Studio. I’m a professional jewellery artist and a proud member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen.
I design and make individual and exclusive pieces of contemporary jewellery, in silver, glass and ceramic. Most of my pieces are one-off designs, meticulously crafted by combining the ancient techniques of glass fusing, lampworking and ceramic bead making with traditional precious metal fabrication. If you are interested in learning more about my designs, please visit my other website www.auroralombardo.com showcasing my latest collections.
I've set up The Jazzy Jewelz Studio in 2009 and at the same time started to develop my own brand of easy-to-make craft kits. Engaging & fun, they make wonderful project for parents and children to make together!
