What to expect…

During the workshop, I will introduce you to different types of wax, tools and techniques and guide you through the process of your idea coming to life: From the first sketches to your final model. In a small group, we’ll spend around 4.5 hours together: With snacks and drinks, in a relaxed atmosphere, as you sculpt your piece by hand.

After the workshop, I’ll take care of the rest. Your design will be cast in Sterling Silver, I’ll clean it up, file, sand, stamp and polish it – all the finishing touches – and about 3-4 weeks later, your finished piece will be waiting for you to wear it.

Included in the price of 189€:

All workshop materials and tools
Drinks, fruit and snacks
Up to 10g of 925 Silver*
The casting and full post-processing
Shipping of your finished piece

The workshop takes place in my little atelier in Köln Poll, right inside the cozy space of the Minhafaktur. The workshops are held in German but non-German speakers are welcome – I am happy to adapt in English.

It's a lovely experience to slow down, work with your hands, and create something uniquely your own. Whether you're making something for yourself or want to gift the workshop to a loved one – you’ll walk away with a piece of jewelry that’s completely one of a kind and that carries a beautiful memory.

I’d love to welcome you soon! <3

* Creating several pieces or in other precious metals is possible for an additional cost.
* 10g will be enough for a simple ring, pendant or a pair of ear studs. If your design is heavier, each extra gram of silver will be 1,50€. You will be in charge of what cost to expect and whether you are comfortable with it by weighing your model during the workshop.
