I’m Laverene from beautiful Singapore, where we have hot summer 365 days a year. Arts have always been my passion, and I am really glad that I made the move to come over and join the summer intensive course in fantastic Florence. I graduated in fashion design and worked in the fashion industry, and now it’s time for me to pursue further my love for jewelry making.

Amazing work studio with Alessandro Dari. Seriously, I was very pressured when I first came in as this studio and museum of his artwork is mind blowing.! I am really honored to have the opportunity to learn wax casting with him.
