Pendant Making Jewellery Workshop: Wax Carved

Design and make a unique pendant to be cast in silver or gold in Polegate!



3 hours Class size 4 to 8 guests       £130 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Carve out some time just for you and enjoy a deeply creative three-hour workshop in Polegate, where you’ll be introduced to the ancient art of wax carving and sculpting to create your own unique amulet pendant, ready to be cast in metal. Held in a beautiful 17th-century barn, this is a truly magical experience!
This workshop is gentle, intuitive, and fully guided, making it accessible whether you’ve never made jewellery before or you’re simply curious to try something new. The small class size ensures you’ll receive plenty of individual support as you work, and you’re encouraged to follow your instincts and let your imagination lead the way.
What to expect:
  • A welcoming, atmospheric setting with candles and intention-setting to begin
  • Guidance on working with jewellers’ wax, a versatile and forgiving material
  • Carving and sculpting your own amulet or talisman pendant
  • One-to-one support throughout the session
  • Your wax design sent off to be cast, finished, and polished in recycled brass (silver or gold available at an additional cost)
  • Optional add-ons available after the class, including: gemstone setting (from £30+), gold plating (£40–£60) and engraving (from £45).
  • Your finished pendant will be ready for collection or posting within three working weeks after the workshop, with additional time for any optional extras.
You’ll leave the workshop feeling inspired and connected having created a deeply personal piece that carries meaning as well as beauty. It’s more than jewellery making; it’s time set aside to reflect and make something truly special just for you!
We also highly recommend that you spend some time in our beautiful village of Litlington where you can walk along the South Downs, amble along the Cuckmere River, visit the Litlington Crystal Store and the local Long Man Brewery, or grab a bite and a pint at the 17th-century Plough & Harrow, before or after your jewellery class.)
