Included in the price of 219€:

• All workshop materials and tools

• Drinks and snacks

• Up to 10g of 925 Silver*

• Casting of one piece

• Full post-processing (1-2 hours of workload per piece)

• Shipping of your finished piece

*10g will be enough for a simple ring, pendant or a pair of ear studs. For heavier designs, each gram of silver will be charged with the current silver price of ~ 2,5€/g. By weighing your model during the workshop, you will be fully in charge of what cost to expect.

Creating several pieces or gold plating is possible for an additional cost.

You’re invited to explore, experiment, and bring your own ideas to life in a relaxed and open environment. A respectful and as discrimination-sensitive as possible approach is very important to me.

The space is queer-friendly, and people with different experiences, bodies, identities, and needs are welcome. Anyone who does not respect this will be asked to leave the workshop.

No previous experience is required! You can ask questions at any time, take breaks, and work at your own pace. No one has to be especially skilled, creative, or fast. Mistakes and changes of plan are all part of the process — and sometimes they even lead to the most beautiful ideas. We support one another without comparing ourselves, and I’ll be there to guide and support you from beginning to end.

Language

The course is usually held in German. English-speaking participants are very welcome, and explanations can be repeated in English whenever needed.

Accessibility

• There are six steps leading to the building, and a wheelchair ramp is available

• There is space for a wheelchair or walker at the workstations.

• The toilet is on the same level, but the room is relatively narrow

• All activities can be done while seated

• Some tables are wheelchair-accessible, and a suitable workstation can be arranged if needed

• Individual breaks are always possible, and a quiet space is available for anyone who needs to step away

• The group consists of four to six people. Some parts of the workshop can be loud, but hearing protection is available

• There is no harsh or flickering lighting

• The course can be adapted to your individual pace. There are no fixed goals, and the focus is on the process rather than performance

• Support is available for tasks requiring fine motor skills, physical strength, or a wide range of movement

• Support persons and assistance dogs are welcome

• Parking is available directly outside the building. The “Poll Salmstraße” public transport stop is approximately a seven-minute walk away

Please don’t hesitate to let me know about any individual needs. We can then discuss the accessibility of the space, workstations, and techniques together. I’m happy to arrange any adjustments that may be helpful!!

Materials

During the workshop, we work exclusively with different types of modelling wax.

After the workshop, your design will be cast in sterling silver. Up to 10 g of silver are included in the workshop price. Each additional gram costs approximately €2.50, depending on the current silver price. You can weigh your model throughout the workshop, so you always have an idea of any additional material costs.

If you’re interested in having your piece gold-plated or cast in another material, such as gold or platinum, I’m happy to advise you. Just send me a message.

Design Possibilities

There are hardly any limits to your imagination. You can create rings, pendants, earrings, brooches, talismans, as well as small sculptural or decorative objects.

You will have enough time to develop and complete at least one design. Depending on your experience and the complexity of your ideas, you may also be able to create additional pieces, especially simpler ones, or at least begin working on them.

If you would like more information about prices or have any other questions, feel free to send me a message!

There are hardly any limits to your imagination in the workshop! A few things are unfortunately beyond the scope of the session:

• Setting stones or casting existing stones into a piece

• Using metals you bring yourself, reworking existing jewelry, or melting it down

• Creating hinges, moving parts, or complex clasps

• Making very fine, delicate chain links

If you would like to discuss ideas or possibilities for any of these outside the workshop, feel free to get in touch!

After the workshop, your design will be cast and the raw casting will then be filed, sanded, polished and hallmarked by me. It usually takes around four weeks in total for your piece to arrive by mail.

Yes! With the Wax and Silver Workshop Giftcard , the recipient can join a workshop on a date of their choice.
