It’s been a little while since we last reached out, and as we step into a new season, we wanted to share some of the wonderful things that have been happening at MasterPeace Academy. Autumn marks both a time of reflection and renewal - a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come and the exciting direction ahead.

Our Year So Far
Graduation in Kenya
We began the year with a visit to MasterPeace Kenya by our founder, Norma Banton in April, to laed upskilling sessions in silverwork and to officiate at our graduation ceremony. Ten trainees received internal certification - It was a joyous occasion celebrated with friends, family, and supporters.
Gem Genève
In May, we were honoured to exhibit at Gem Genève alongside the Jewellery & Gemstone Association of Africa (JGAA). It was a privilege to showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of our UK and Kenyan trainees on the global stage. Thank you to all who visited the stand and showed interest in our initiatives.
Soon, AFRIKA ROCKS jewellery will be available at select stockists across Kenya, making it easier than ever to experience and share our collections locally.
