Let age be no excuse....

What will you do to gain knowledge? Will you drive 182 miles or 292 kilometres from Penang to KL? 

At the age of 60+++, what will you do as leisure? Will you learn hand skills from scratch? 

Josef Bronner will...

A German senior engineer cum GM who sign up "Basic Jewelry Design and Smithing Course" with MC Square Studio. 

Travel back and forth, spending 20 over days with us to create his series of master piece. 

You must have these ingredient to make the course a success namely passion, time, money and diligence.

Josef Bronner has these all (^.^)

After the course, he will be leaving Malaysia - a place he has spend almost his entire life and back to Germany 

Me, Chin, Lizzie, Dawn and Wei will surely missed him much - a humble senior citizen.

This quote from Henry Ford most well describes him:
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."

Spot the teacher and the student :)

Inner Peace Seeking Moment - Mix Media Charms Pendant

idea recording

combination of silver and brass

Just realise - to materialise our idea is an inner peace seeking journey. When reading from paper the world chaos seems like a never ending story. And the story became a real horror. The weak and small are always the victims of the violent and hatred. As a 3 children mother, I was so terrify to accept this fact. 

When in such emotional condition, I choose to ease myself by writing, singing, dancing, drawing, watching tv bla bla.... But when the negative feeling is still there, I turn to God for HIS guidance!

Design description: 

The round crooked background silver plate is the current world with confuse lines criss-crossing all over created by hammering technique. The texture was emphasized by blackening technique.The original sketch was a round structure, but I was not satisfied with the outcome. Turn to use heavy duty scissors to cut and trim the round onto crooked.shape until it represent my though of the confusing world, then I stop.  The flame shape brass plate holding colours cubic zirconia representing 5 of us: black is the father Chin, white is me, blue and pink is Lizzie's and Dawn's favourite colour. And lastly the green prince of us at the bottom of all stones. We hope to be the light that walk the talks of GOD's teaching. At second though the flame plate is also like hands holding together when you carry something precious. Symbolized GOD's love and teaching hold all us together to face the current and future challenges .

6 hrs Instead of 3 hrs DIY Wedding Rings Workshop

her very detail  and neat design descriptions

Material: Premium Silver
Stone: 1.5mm diamond
Finishing: Hybrid
(matte and mirror finishing)

these beautiful pieces were completed in 6 hrs!

End of last year, I received a call from a lady (with sweet voice) asking for DIY custom made wedding ring workshop. A very young looking music teacher with a dream of making her very primitive wedding ring design to come true. 

The workshop was held on the 4th day of  Chinese New Year. The couple came with a patient helper: her sister cum photographer. The workshop was suppose to be complete in 3 hrs. but we chat a lot then found out that it was lunch time. When lunch time come back, we continue chatting (plus do work) until we realised that it was already evening time. Sometimes just can't help to share experience (or chatting plus do work) with such charming people.

Like an artist, she has the beautiful story behind the designs.

"Matte finishing represent him, and mirror finishing is her. 

For his ring: the splendid shine of mirror covering the matte surface means she is always the supporter to whatever his decision will be and both of them is bind together by a diamond represent everlasting.

For her ring: the rough macho kind of matte finishing covering the mirror means he will be the shelter to protect her from any life challenges and their love is tie up by the solid rock forever."

Our workshop...

My husband- Chin and I have spend four years to set up our work shop in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur. We are keen to in take apprentices who have passion to materialize their creativity. All we have is the technical know how and all the necessary tools that will make their dream design come true.
