ABOUT THE LECTURER:
Mikaela is a jewellery designer whose work explores the intersection of adornment, ancient culture and nature. A graduate of Ruth Prowse School of Art and former goldsmithing apprentice with The Lighthouse of Healing NPC, she creates sculptural pieces inspired by the quiet intelligence woven throughout the natural world and sacred geometry. Through Maji Adornment, and in her role as a guest lecturer at Ruth Prowse, she honours jewellery as both craft and offering - inviting a deeper sense of connection, belonging, and remembrance.
