How long is a session?
Private and pair sessions are approximately 2 hours long. Group sessions of 3 or more run about 2.5 hours, with full guidance from a professional artist throughout.
Do I need any prior experience?
None at all. Total beginners are welcome. You'll have demonstrations and one-to-one guidance throughout the session.
What will I make?
You choose between a custom ring or a necklace pendant. Both are carved by hand in jeweler's wax and cast in your chosen metal using the lost-wax method, one of the oldest casting techniques in the world.
What language are sessions taught in?
All sessions are taught in English.
When will my piece be ready?
Your finished piece will be ready 2 to 5 weeks after your session, depending on metal type. You can pick it up from the atelier in Gracia, or we can arrange shipping - costs vary by carrier and destination.
How much does it cost?
Jewelry making workshops start at €85 per person for bronze, with sterling silver and gold-plated bronze options at €110 per person for groups of 3 or more. Solo and pair rates are listed
here.
What extra costs should I expect?
Everything you need to make your piece - wax, tools, metal, and instruction - is included in your booking price. Most pieces fall within the standard pricing. Large bronze pieces have a small additional charge of €5, and large gold-plated bronze pieces incur a small charge of €10 to cover the additional material. Silver sessions include 6g of silver, and additional silver is priced at €3/gram. If you're wondering whether your design classifies as large, we'll guide you in person or you can email us ahead of time. For travelers, your piece can be shipped locally or internationally, with the price depending on carrier estimates for your country.
Where are you located in Barcelona?
Sessions take place inside a working artist's atelier in Gracia, one of Barcelona's most creative and characterful neighborhoods. The exact address is shared upon booking.
Is this good for couples, bachelorette parties, or groups?
Yes. It's popular for couples, hen and bachelorette parties, friend groups, birthdays, small team offsites, and as a unique creative experience for tourists and Barcelona locals alike. Group rates are available for 3 or more people, and our Gracia atelier comfortably hosts groups up to 14. For groups of 7 or more, we can also come to your hotel, event space, or private venue around Barcelona.
How many people can you host for a group session?
Our Gracia atelier comfortably hosts groups of up to 14 people with our standard setup. Larger groups can be accommodated upon request. For groups of 7 or more, we can also bring the workshop to your hotel, event space, or private venue anywhere in Barcelona.
Do you host hen parties, birthdays, and friend group bookings?
Yes. It's a popular alternative to a bar crawl or standard bar or restaurant booking for hen and bachelorette parties, birthdays, and friend get-togethers. Everyone carves and casts their own piece, with wine included, and leaves with a keepsake rather than just a photo.
Do you host team building or corporate group sessions?
Yes, small teams book sessions as a hands-on alternative to typical team-building activities. Corporate and team bookings work the same as any other group booking, up to 14 people with our standard setup, larger upon request.
How does payment work for a group booking?
One organizer can book and pay for the whole group, or participants can pay individually if preferred.
