Let your creativity shine in the company of Justine and Laurence!
They invite you to immerse yourself in the dazzling world of handcrafted jewellery, where you'll have the privilege of designing your own pair of hammered 925 sterling silver earrings.
On arrival, you'll be greeted by an expert who will take the time to teach you the basics of her craft.
Then it's up to you! You'll learn how to use the bocfil (jeweller's saw) to cut your hoop earrings, before grinding and polishing them with files and a hand motor.
You can also try your hand at the art of hammering with small hammers to give your jewellery a unique touch. Justine and Laurence will be at your side throughout the process to guide you in mastering the techniques and key gestures.
At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your magnificent pair of earrings, ready to light up your style!
Note: Sweet and savoury treats and drinks will be available during the workshop to enhance this unique experience.

Meet TaohƩ
Jewellers
The story began in 2015, when Justine and Laurence decided to embark on a new entrepreneurial venture. They founded their own jewellery brand, TaohƩ, named after Tao, the Chinese philosophy's concept of "the middle way," and also after the American lake of the same name.
Laurence, a trained psychologist, loves discovering the latest trends and designing new models for the collection. Optimistic and creative, she crafts the jewellery from start to finish, using her expert eye for colourimetry.
Justine, a former management engineer, is passionate about developing and overseeing the project from all angles. She also utilises her experience in development cooperation to create unique pieces that support ethical mineral supply chains.
Today, Justine and Laurence work hand in hand in their workshop, located in a small village in the Brabant Wallon region. Their goal? A short, 100% transparent supply chain for their jewellery, made from recycled 925 silver or 18k gold certified by Fairtrade.
For them, the workshops are a way to share the joy of creation, offering participants a timeless experience in crafting ethical and profoundly unique jewellery.
