Welcome to Natasha's workshop. Led by this skilled artisan, this session offers an engaging experience in jewellery making.
On arrival, Natasha will introduce herself and set the context for the hands-on experience ahead. Inspired by her story, you'll begin by sketching your design idea on paper, guided by her expertise and practical advice.
Natasha will then demonstrate the process of wax carving, a fundamental technique in jewellery making. You'll watch as she carves intricate details into the wax, bringing designs to life with precision and skill. Under her guidance, you'll then have the opportunity to carve your own design, honing your skills and gaining hands-on experience.
Following the workshop, your design will be cast in silver, transforming the wax model into your ring.
Join Natasha and discover a new appreciation for craft and the satisfaction of creating a stunning piece of jewellery with your own hands.

Meet Natasha
Jeweller
Meet Natasha, a skilled artisan with a rich journey that has taken her from the Midwest, Los Angeles and New York before settling in London.
Originally drawn to the film industry, Natasha moved to LA at the age of 18 to pursue a career in styling and costume design. She dabbled in jewellery making on the side and launched her first line, Garage Gypsy, in 2008. However, as her styling career took off, she put her jewellery ambitions on hold.
In 2016, Natasha shifted gears and moved to New York to study silversmithing. It was there that she discovered her passion for wax carving for lost wax casting. Inspired by the process, she founded Anonoma, her own jewellery line.
Natasha has now settled in the UK, drawn back to her family roots. Here she continues to refine her craft, blending influences from her American upbringing with her newfound British environment. Each piece she creates reflects her journey and dedication to the art of jewellery making.
