Lost wax workshop - Tarot inspired // ANTWERP
Picture a jewel shaped by your own hands, carrying a symbol that is yours alone. That's the essence at the heart of my workshops. Since the dawn of time, across every culture, a jewel is only worth the story behind it, as long as that story is sincere.
For three hours, I'll teach you the lost-wax technique, an ancestral method, through pink wax modelling. From sketch to jewellery, I'll guide you step by step through the experience of building your own amulet. No experience or preparation needed. Just be ready to welcome imperfections and let go of the urge to control the material: let the wax speak. You can make as many trials as time allows.
At the end of the workshop, you pick one piece from your creations: it will be cast in silver, then cleaned and refined by my own hands after casting.
The tarot as a source of inspiration
To find that story, we'll let the unexpected guide us: everyone draws a tarot card. You don't need to believe in it, or even know how tarot works, it's purely a source of visual and symbolic inspiration. The card you draw becomes your starting point: its symbols, its colours, its meaning. With the help of various materials, texts and images, let yourself be inspired by whatever your card evokes for you.
