This special workshop with NGV based on Cartier is targeted at teachers who want to engage their students in jewellery design projects.

Cartier, which features around 400 stunning pieces of jewellery, traces the evolution of their enduring legacy in art, design and craftsmanship.

Spanning the Maison’s early years through to its most contemporary creations, the exhibition chronicles the story of Cartier’s rise, told through works commissioned, owned and worn by royalty and Hollywood stars alike. Design drawings, sketchbooks and photographs from the Cartier archives illuminate the creative process behind the works, offering a rare glimpse into their exceptional craftsmanship.

Our session will start with an overview of the exhibition by NGV's Monique Nolan. We'll then have a presentation by goldsmith and teacher Sarah Kellet where she'll share the jewellery design classroom projects she has implemented at her school.

You'll then get VIP entry to the exhibition itself, and afterwards, you can join fellow teachers for a networking session at NGV Friday Night over a glass of wine on us.

And you can even stay on to watch a special screening of The Great Gatsby (1974) and marvel at the incredible costume pieces designed by Cartier.
