Grillz, also known as ‘fronts,’ are decorative teeth coverings crafted primarily from precious metals. They come in various shapes and sizes, accommodating the uniqueness of individual teeth. These fashionable dental accessories can be easily attached and detached, either onto a single tooth or multiple teeth.

Our Grillz Course provides an excellent opportunity to learn the essential skills needed to create your own grillz using two techniques: wax and resin. This course welcomes participants with no prior jewellery experience. To accommodate beginners, we have added an introduction to using jewellery tools while crafting a jewellery piece, which will take place on Saturday morning.

About the tutor:

Melvin Faria is a London native with a diverse African-Portuguese background. With relentless dedication and pursuit of perfection, he established his own successful grillz brand called Mpire Gold in 2021.

David Ogunleye, Melvin’s collaborator, will join the course to teach the wax technique. David embarked on his own grillz-making journey during a similar period, and together they have witnessed the remarkable growth of their respective businesses in recent years. They are both excited to pass on the wisdom they have acquired along the way, aiming to inspire and educate students on creating top-quality, perfectly-fitted grillz.
