Learn with us

Officine Nora is not a school but a modern "bottega" where you can learn more about jewelry making techniques or and even make a jewel with your own hands.

We offer demonstrations, short experiences and workshops on specific techniques, below you'll find some examples. There’s not a preset calendar for experiences and demonstrations, we rather schedule them according to demand and benches availability.

However, if you don't find what you're looking for, or you have a special request, please contact us, we'll be happy to try and arrange something that suits your needs.

We are sorry to inform you that due to the COVID19 emergency, all workshops and experiences are suspended until further notice. Take care of yourself and those around you!
