Sandcast Your Own Jewels Workshop

Play with wax, form and fire—create your own silver jewellery through the art of sandcasting!



3 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       $290 (Afterpay available)

Join us for a very special jewellery-making experience where you’ll design and craft your own ring, pendant, or small object using wax carving and witness its transformation into metal as your design is cast in the depths of sand.
Guided by arts therapist Adi, this small-group workshop supports your individual creative journey. With Adi’s warm and encouraging approach, you’ll feel confident exploring the playful exploration of jewellery-making—no experience necessary.
What You’ll Do
You’ll begin by working with jeweller's wax—learning how to design, shape, and sculpt your piece by hand. Once complete, your wax creation will be sandcast in sterling silver right in the studio. Adi will then professionally finish and polish your piece offsite, and your completed jewellery will be posted to you approximately two weeks after the session.
This intimate workshop is a relaxed and welcoming space to explore your creativity. With a maximum of six participants, you’ll enjoy plenty of personal guidance and time to work at your own pace.

female Women-owned

I'm Adi, a registered creative arts therapist and maker of many little things. My journey towards practising creative arts therapy developed from curiously searching for a deeper connection to self, emotion, materiality and healthy creative expression.
As an arts facilitator, I love designing and creating workshops that facilitate the playful and imaginative exploration of art materials.
As an artist, jewellery is my personal arts practice. I draw inspiration from the natural qualities of materials and ancient sand-casting techniques, my work emphasises the authenticity of traditional methods. Every piece emerges from a hands-on, exploratory process that captures the raw beauty and character of the materials, reflecting a deep engagement with their inherent qualities.
