Dive into the world of jewelry making in Sophia and Lieselot's workshop! In 3.5 hours you will learn how to use the age-old Lost Wax technique to make your own silver ring. This hands-on experience is suitable for both beginners and jewelry lovers.
Under the guidance of experienced goldsmiths Sophia and Lieselot, you will learn essential skills such as sawing, filing and shaping wax. A practical demonstration will give you insight into the tools and methods used.
During the workshop, all the materials you need will be provided, including wax and tools. There will also be tea and biscuits to help you relax and stay sharp. You will have the opportunity to experiment with different designs and techniques, making for a truly personal experience.
At the end of the workshop, your wax creation will be cast in high-quality sterling silver. Please note: the entire casting and polishing process takes approximately 3-4 weeks. After this, you can pick up your ring or it can be sent to you. For an additional fee, you can also make multiple rings and/or add stones or other materials during the workshop.
Sophia and Lieselot are happy to welcome you!

Sophia's journey into jewellery design began with her goldsmithing studies in Schoonhoven, The Netherlands. She furthered her skills through apprenticeships with Peter Vermandere and Philip Sajet before venturing into the industry as a goldsmith and 3D designer for various brands in Berlin.
After co-founding the jewellery collective Argyria, Sophia returned to the Netherlands where she currently works from her own studio. Since 2023 she is a member of the jewellery collective The Pool in Amsterdam, where she shows her creations.
In addition to her personal work, Sophia collaborates with Lieselot Versteeg, an independent artist, to run workshops in wax carving for jewellery. Together they offer hands-on learning experiences for those interested in exploring the craft.
