This variant is currently sold out
Carve some time just for you and enjoy getting creative in a 3 hours workshop introducing you to the ancient art of wax carving and sculpting to create your very own unique amulet pendant to be cast in silver or gold.
Held in a 17th Century barn, we will gather together, light some candles, cast some spells and set our intentions for the coming months. I will then guide you though working with jewellers wax, which is incredibly versatile and allows you to create something completely unique, so you can let your imagination and instincts run wild!
A wonderful way to connect with our inner selves and one another, carve out a couple of hours to join to make yourself a very special pendant. No experience needed, and small class size ensures you get the attention you need.
After the workshop your amulet will be cast, finished and polished using recycled brass, silver or gold (an additional charge will apply for silver or gold castings).
Your finished talisman pendant will be ready for collection or posting within 3 working weeks after the class.
Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested and paid for at the end of the class.
- Gemstones start from £30 and up and include setting costs
- Gold plating ranges from £40-£60
- Engraving starts from £45
Please note each of these services have a lead time of 3 working weeks on top of the casting/finishing time.
