In a 3.5-hour workshop led by Sara, participants are invited to explore the intricate art of jewellery making, focusing on hard wax carving and sand-casting techniques. This session is suitable for everyone, regardless of their prior experience in jewellery crafting and offers a comprehensive introduction to creating bespoke earrings.
The workshop begins with an instructional segment on hard wax carving. Participants will be introduced to various tools and techniques essential for shaping and detailing their wax models. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for their custom earring design.
Following the carving process, attendees will employ the sand-casting technique to cast their designs in silver. This traditional method of casting allows for the creation of detailed and unique jewellery pieces, offering a hands-on experience in transforming a wax model into a metal form.
The final stage of the workshop involves soldering the ear-pins onto the cast silver earrings, a skill that adds functionality to the design. Participants will then carry out the final polishing of their earrings, enhancing their appearance and giving them a professional finish.
Sara ensures that all materials required for the workshop, including the silver, are provided. The cost of the workshop includes these materials, allowing participants to focus solely on the learning and creative process.

Jeweller
Sara's creative journey in jewellery making and design began in her hometown of Pesaro, Italy. Inspired by her mother's custom-designed jewellery, she witnessed the magic of artisans bringing ideas to life with beauty and craftsmanship.
After pursuing a PhD in Environmental Engineering in Scotland, Sara felt a persistent desire to create and embarked on a new adventure. She dedicated years to honing her skills in sustainable silversmithing, aligning her passion with her environmental background.
Relocating to Antwerp, a renowned hub for jewellers, Sara established HumbleForgeJewellery. Each piece she crafts reflects her personal journey, named after the people who have influenced her path. From Italy to Scotland and now Antwerp, her creations embody her transformation and embrace of a new life.
Specialising in the sand casting technique, Sara skilfully smashes sand into moulds, transforming molten silver into exquisite creations. In her workshop, you'll have the opportunity to craft your own ring or pendant using this technique and take it home the same day.
Sara's enthusiasm and dedication are infectious, as she not only possesses a passion for creation but also a love for teaching. Join her workshop and be inspired by her knowledge and creative spirit.
