Overview

I'm an artist and master jeweller, art lover and food passioned, I still haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do when I grow up, meanwhile (since 1982) I design jewels and I like teach jewelry-making. In 2013 I was appointed Master of Art by Tuscany Govt. I always like meeting new people, find new inspirations, sharing my knowledge... and telling stories about my work and my city. The ancient cuttlefish bone casting technique, already known by the Egyptians more than 2000 years ago, is one of my favorites is one of my favourites and it's easy to learn. The cuttlefish bone is easy to carve to make a mold that will be filled with melted silver. After my instuctions it will be your turn to project and carve the bone into the shape of your own jewel. You will make your personalized pendant or ring, choosing from the proposed models; I will help individually to reach the best result. In the mold just carved I will cast the melted silver and you'll see immediately the rough jewel.

What's Included

  • Silver and finishing ...and final aperitif! I'll give you the silver for your jewel (Gr 20) I'll do any extra work to finish it. The gems or the shipping will be paid separately.
  • Any shipping costs of the jewel excluded. (from € 10italy €20 Europe € 50 other countries)

What To Expect

We will meet in my own small creative workshop (10 minutes walk from the Santa Maria Novella railway station) where I'll teach you, step by step, how to create a jewel using the technique of cuttlebone casting.This ancient technique, already known by the Egyptians more than 2000 years ago, is one of my favourites and it's easy to learn. The cuttlefish bone is easy to carve to make a mold that will be filled with melted silver. After my instuctions it will be your turn to project and carve the bone into the shape of your own jewel. You will make your personalized pendant or ring, choosing from the proposed models; I will help individually to reach the best result. In the mold just carved I will cast the melted silver and you'll see immediately the rough jewel. After the "hard" work we will reach the hidden garden of a small bar near my laboratory where I will offer you an aperitif and we will discuss together how to finish your jewel!
No special knowledge or skills are required to fully enjoy this experience
Comfortable and informal clothes are recommended.
The same evening you can pick up your jewel at my laboratory!
