What We Do - Who We Help
.
We are both Designer/Makers and work from home. We make use of our beautiful environment, by working in the garden, going for walks and swimming most days, weather permitting.
Catherine and Ragner have been working as reputable teachers and innovative designer/makers for many years. Catherine received the NSW Award for Excellence in Teaching. In 2016 we both moved to Arakoon from the city to set up our workshop/studio ‘IdeasToForm’. Here is where we continue to inspire others with our passion for making and designing jewellery and objects. We very much enjoy sharing our passion and skills with both absolute beginners as well as more advanced makers.
We will guide you through the process of a particular technique or your project from start to finish and if so, wanted, can also provide lots of design inspiration.
What Our Clients Say
We consider ourselves extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to create our wedding bands with Catherine and Ragnar in the breath-taking Arakoon. Catherine and Ragnar were the first and only beautiful individuals we could think of to take us seamlessly and confidently through the process of creating bespoke unique rings. Catherine and Ragnar gifted their extensive silversmithing and jewellery making expertise and talent with us, allowing us to transform our bullion gold into priceless cherished rings that we could take home with us after just one short and lovely weekend.
We’re absolutely over the moon with the outcome; Catherine and Ragnar have had a profound impact on our lives, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their time and grace. We couldn’t recommend their workshop highly enough – their craftmanship, the tranquillity, their creative spirit, and their contagious laughter far surpassed our expectations.
Warmest regards, Alexander and Micaella
“This has been one of the best experiences I have booked, Catherine was fantastic as our host, knowledgeable, organised, easy to talk to, the workshop was intriguing and the whole day was engaging. Lunch was amazing. I would recommend this workshop to everyone (ladies book it while the men are fishing!) When we are in the area again, we will book to make something else, the vast range of tools and skills Catherine tutored us through gave us an appreciation for jewelry craftsmanship. A truly impressive day, I would recommend a trip to South West Rocks would be incomplete if this is not added to your diary!”

“Thank you Catherine, Scott and I had the best time. We will be seeing you again next time we are in SWR. We truly appreciated your skill, patience and tutoring ability to get us through each stage. Your lunch was fabulous and you have inspired us to make a Basque Cheesecake. We look forward to seeing you again.
