 Meropis Art - School Of Jewellery

Helps You Get The Skills You Need

 To Create A Business And A life You Love.

 

I believe that everyone on this planet must pursuit their dreams and follow their path to find real happiness. I know that  learning new skills is many times time consuming and overwelming  especially when you have a 9:00 t0 5:00 job, a family and home to look after, as well as kids on a 24/7 basis.

 

Our courses are designed having in mind people just like you, are comprehensive and packed with lots of information. In one day, WITH NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, you can create up to three silver pieces, or two silver rings.

 

And, if you attend our intensive course ( 5 days ), you will be ready to start your own jewellery making business.

 

We have a set schedule for our classes but we are also ready to teach you whenever is more convenient to you; you only have to send us your special request.

 

 

All grateful and proud as I can be, because I was trained to the highest level with some of the world’s leading metal clay artists and instructors. This also inspired me to achieve recognition and be honored with a number of prizes as part of international competitions:

 

• Second Prize, ACWUK Guild Annual Conference, Jersey Island, 2009

• First Prize, ACWUK Guild Annual Conference, York, 2010

• Third Prize, 1st European Artclay Festival Competition, Prague, Czech Republic, 2011

•  Second prize, 2nd European Artclay Competition, Zurich, Switzerland, 2012.

 

Also, I am a contributing artist to the MetalClay Today magazine.

 

One of my New Mokume Gane pieces was featured in  the Japan Silver Accessories Booklet 2013 and was exhibited in  Tokyo. 

 

Furthermore, I am a certified Art Clay Senior Instructor since 2008  and  a New Mokume Gane Certified Instructor since 2012, one of few currently in Europe.

 

As instructor, I teach various classes from beginners to masterclass level.  My latest masterclass was held last October (2014) in Amsterdam.  Two groups of very talented metal clay artists participated in my box ring masterclass and I have to say, the results were amazing

​

I am teaching  basic to certification metal clay classes, and mixed media courses in my workshop in Nicosia - Cyprus since 2009. People from my Island as well  people from other countries traveled to attended my courses.

 

Here's what  some of my students who attended my courses say:

My journey started back in 1963. I was born in Cyprus, a small island in the Mediterranean, where I live with my husband, my two sons and my two furry babies. 

 

It took me some time but eventually, I realized that I was no different from many other artists.  I was struggling in my daily routine in a job that I didn’t really like, a work environment I didn’t want to be part of but I had to tolerate, in order to survive and be able to put some bread on my family’s table. The truth is that I had all the support and love from my husband but this was not enough.  Something seemed to be missing from my life.

 

In 2005, the Universe heard my prayers. I was looking as usual, for something creative when a good friend of mine recommended to me a hobby store that was organizing jewellery making courses.

 

I took a course for beaded jewelry and all of a sudden, a whole new world appeared right in front of my eyes.  Being a person that was always searching for creative activities and a person that never gives up, I kept searching my new world for new techniques and new materials.  Completely by accident, I ‘discovered’ metal clay, the most fantastic material I ever came across.  From that very moment, I became addicted to it knowing that, at last, I found what I was looking for all my life.

 

Without a second thought, I gave up my full time job in 2008 and I started my small creative business: Meropi’s Art.   Since then, I have been working hard to pass on my passion and knowledge to new artists and thus, help them start their own creative business.  Like me, they could quit their boring  jobs when their individual time is right and find their own path to true happiness through creation
