There will be 2 and a half hours to have fun experimenting with different types of wax, playing with morphology, texture, welding, bending, different thicknesses, wires and sheets.
You have the freedom to create rings, earrings, pendants or whatever you want with the wax. At the end of the workshop you will choose 1 piece (or the equivalent to the metal weight of a maximum of 7 grams) to cast, to be made in sterling silver.
You can take away the other pieces made in wax.
After 20/30 days the pieces will be sent to the agreed address.
It is recommended to start with simple pieces, bringing reference images or any previous ideas helps. If you want something precise you can bring it in real size so we can work on that.
If you have experience in goldsmithing or any plastic art it will help you, but it is not essential.
Who carries out the workshop?
My name is Florencia. I was born in Buenos Aires into a family with European roots, and after many years, I now live in the land of my ancestors.
I began my education at an Italian school in Buenos Aires, and later earned a degree in Industrial Design from the University of Buenos Aires. From a young age, I was deeply immersed in the world of jewellery: my great-grandmother and grandmother ran their own jewellery businesses. I grew up playing at selling jewellery with my sister at my grandmother’s house. When I was 15, I started taking jewellery courses, which I have continued to pursue alongside my studies.
In 2018, I was honoured to receive a scholarship at Le Arti Orafe in Florence, with the aim of honing my technical skills as a goldsmith. After having two children and facing the challenges brought on by a pandemic, I decided to turn my passion into a business by launching my own brand in Florence.
I started working in a small home studio, and about a year ago, I moved to the historic Convent where I now personally craft all the pieces for my collections.
What began as a small dream has grown into a family-run enterprise…
