Welcome to Gilded Poppy Makery
Gilded Poppy is dedicated to creating sustainable, exquisite, handcrafted jewellery and providing enriching educational experiences that inspire creativity, joyful expression and a tranquil mind.
My passion is to empower individuals to discover their artistic potential and find joy through the medium of Slow Craft Jewellery Making.
Here you will find a warm, supportive space for slow, mindful silversmithing — focusing on peace with imperfection, authenticity at heart, and a rich community of creatives.
“Smack Things with Hammers and Burn Things with Fire!”
You’ll hear this phrase a lot at my workshop in Melbourne, Australia!
This is where I teach Slow Craft metal-smithing arts — along with enamelling, stone setting, wire working, cord weaving, metal clay and of course, bone and freeform gemstone carving.
Believing we all learn better with a good laugh, my classes are relaxed, full of fun and a place where you can put aside your day to day worries to immerse yourself in the joy of learning something creative and new.
Curious… or just want an excuse to play with fire?

“Hand Forged Spinner Rings
Excellent, patient, passionate teacher - was a day well spent and now have a bespoke spinner ring that fits perfectly. Thank you so much for Saturdays class - being in your company all day was not only inspiring and wonderfully fruitful but also so memorable : and that means so much to me.
Stone Set Ring Class
The class was fantastic! We had so much fun! It was just the two of us and Storm. She is such a lovely teacher. Humorous and patient. She answered all our questions and helped us when we got stuck. What beautiful rings we crafted!!!
Viking Knit Bracelet
This was such a fun class, Storm is so knowledgeable and helpful, the hours flew by and I went home with a wonderful bracelet! Storm, what can I say, it was a delight to make a bracelet alongside you, thank you for your guidance, patience and knowledge! We’ll be back!
Granulated Ring Class
I attended my first workshop at Gilded Poppy and was not disappointed. The construction of the granulated silver ring was complex but made relatively easy by the excellent teaching skills of Storm. The group was very welcoming and inclusive. It was a really enjoyable and productive session. Thank you.
