MALINALLI GARDENS x SECRET OF MANNA 

📍at CONSULTING GROUP

I am now sharing the "secret of manna", distilled from over 10,000 hours of experience, in one comprehensive master class.

Serious about the craftsmanship and business potential of custom grillz? Whether you want to create pieces for yourself or even start your own grill-making business, this comprehensive master class will guide you through the entire process of crafting custom grillz from start to finish.

Course Description: 

This hands-on studio course introduces you to the full process of designing and fabricating custom grillz from precious metals. Participants will learn how to take precise dental impressions, create accurate molds, sculpt detailed wax models, and execute lost-wax casting to produce a wearable piece of dental jewelry. Emphasis is placed on craftsmanship, fit, and finish, including proper filing and polishing techniques.

No prior metalsmithing or dental experience is required. By the end of the course, students will complete a custom grill and gain foundational skills to continue creating unique pieces...whether for personal expression or future entrepreneurial practice.
