Service Description
Experience the art of sandcasting and create a unique piece of jewellery with our exclusive 1:1 sand casting jewellery class. Discover the thrill of transforming raw materials into a stunning piece of wearable art. Vanessa will guide you through each step of the process, teaching you the secrets of forming a sand-mould using a master (such as a button, shell or pebble), melting and pouring molten metal (sterling silver), and finally taking you through the steps of cleaning up, turning it into a piece of jewellery (a charm for a necklace) and polishing your unique treasure. You'll be amazed at what you can create, even if you've never made jewellery before. Our private class offers you the undivided attention of instructor Vanessa Miller, ensuring you'll enjoy a personalized experience designed to unleash your inner artist. A wonderful and rare personal opportunity to learn a new skill, have fun, and walk away with an exquisite piece of jewellery all your own. This is a 1:1 class and is suitable for beginners and also those with some jewellery making experience (saw piercing, soldering, filing and forming metals). Please note this a whole day workshop (approx 5 hours) and a very hands-on experience using hot tools, materials and equipment that produces heat. Although no prior experience is necessary good dexterity is required. All tools and materials* are included in the cost of the workshop. *A more than sufficient allowance of recycled sterling silver will be available and is included in the cost of the workshop, however if you require extra this will be charged for per gram and payable (card or exact cash only) on the day. Dates: 5th September 22nd October 26th November 28th January 2025
