The Atelier is a centre for the research and development of different skill sets required to implement Yahya’s ever expanding artistic vision. From all types of Jewellery work, metalwork and woodwork through to glass blowing and inlaid marquetry, new fields of craftsmanship are constantly being developed. A rigorous training program is undertaken before artisans can participate in the creation of Yahya's work. This process might take months and years, yet sometimes a lifetime of training is inadequate to arrive at the standards needed to work on certain pieces undertaken only by those graced with a natural gift.
