About this Event
Jewellery Workshop - Make Your Own Talisman
Join us for an evening of mindful creativity as we explore the ancient art of talisman making. A talisman is a meaningful object believed to hold personal power and significance, traditionally crafted to bring protection, luck, or manifest intentions.
In the workshop, you'll create your own unique piece of jewellery infused with personal meaning – perfect as a heartfelt gift for someone special or a meaningful treat for yourself.
Design, carve and sculpt your personal talisman from soft wax into a pendant in a relaxed environment. This meditative evening workshop offers a perfect escape from your day to day – a chance to slow down, connect with your creativity, and craft something truly meaningful.
