Join Roxanna for a hands-on wax carving workshop where you’ll design and create your own pendant, a unique piece that can hold personal meaning, whether for yourself or someone you love.
No experience is needed, Roxanna will guide you through traditional hand-carving techniques, showing you how to shape and refine your design using a variety of wax carving tools in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Mood boards will be provided on the day to inspire your ideas and help you explore shapes, forms, and symbols that resonate with you.
You’ll be encouraged to think about the story or inspiration behind your piece, whether it’s a symbol, memory, or simply a form you’re drawn to.
Feel free to bring along any personal objects or images to develop your ideas further with Roxanna’s guidance, and enjoy the playful process of bringing your pendant to life.
