    The workshop kicks off with an introduction to the fascinating lost wax technique. Tayo, our expert jeweller, will showcase inspiring examples of what can be achieved through this intricate process. She'll guide you through the various techniques and tools involved, from files to scalpel, ensuring you have a solid foundation to bring your unique design to life.

    With Tayo's expert guidance, participants will have the opportunity to conceptualise their desired ring, pendant, or charms. Through thoughtful discussions and sketching, you'll work on a template to shape your vision. The creative energy will flow as you begin the process of sculpting your masterpiece, carving, refining, and meticulously cleaning the wax.

    Once your wax creation is complete, Tayo will take the reins, transforming it into a stunning silver jewellery piece. You'll eagerly await the unveiling, and two weeks later, you'll be reunited with your bespoke creation, a tangible symbol of your artistic journey.
