Jewellery Workshop
Wax & Wonder: Create Your Own Pendant with Sarina from OSAKANA
Experience the magic of jewellery making in our very first jewellery workshop! In this hands-on session, you’ll craft a personalised pendant from soft, mouldable wax. Perfect for friends, couples, or anyone looking to create a meaningful keepsake, this creative experience is led by jewellery artist Sarina from OSAKANA. You’ll learn how to shape and sculpt a unique design using a variety of tools, adding textures and impressions to make your pendant truly one-of-a-kind.
Techniques Covered:
- Wax Sculpting – Mould your pendant from soft wax, capturing intricate details with provided tools.
- Impression Making – Add personal touches by pressing textures into the wax, using anything from shells and lace to even your fingerprints!
Once your wax design is complete, it will be cast in sterling silver, professionally finished, and polished by Sarina. You’ll be able to collect your completed pendant once it’s ready!
All materials, including wax and tools, are provided. Feel free to bring small objects from home that you’d like to use for making impressions in the wax.
Important Note:
- The workshop fee covers wax carving only and does NOT include the casting and metal cost. Your wax model will be weighed at the end of the class to determine the cost for casting in silver (approximately $4/gram + $5 casting fee).
- For example, a small pendant usually weighs around 5 grams, making the casting cost approximately $25.
- Casting in gold is also possible—please discuss this option with Sarina on the day.
