Experience
Ways to spend time with PICS.
At PICS, experience is part of how we share what we do.
Some moments are hands-on.
Some are simply about seeing and understanding.
All are created to slow things down — and to allow space for real conversation around craft, materials, and choice.
Atelier Experience
Time at the bench
A private session at Catherine Siu’s bench, where you work directly with silver, tools, and gemstones under personal guidance.
Offered one-to-one or for two participants, it’s an opportunity to understand jewellery and the PICS philosophy through making — from the feel of metal to the decisions that shape a finished piece.
By appointment. Limited sessions available.
Gemstone Discovery
Learning through looking
These sessions are designed to help you see gemstones beyond familiarity, appearance, or price.
We begin with diamonds — the most widely known and highly perceived — before moving through the Big Three and into a broader world of coloured gemstones.
Through shared observation and discussion, we gradually learn to recognise how beauty, rarity, and value take shape in nature, and to appreciate each stone as a natural creation with its own character and story.
Formats:
Private Viewing — by appointment
Group Session — held with partner organisation
Past Experiences
Shared moments
From time to time, we host collective experiences that reflect the values behind PICS — craft, individuality, and respect for different perspectives.
While some experiences return over time, each one unfolds differently, shaped by the hands and thoughts of those involved.
Example: As One; We Craft
A collective making experience held annually, shaped by those who participate.
