Overview
Take a break from the tourist crowds of Florence and venture into the Tuscan countryside to forge jewelry in a local workshop for a unique experience. You will learn how to create a unique piece of silver jewelry from scratch under the guidance of a qualified goldsmith: from melting the metal to polishing the finished piece.
Experience the goldsmith tradition of Tuscany up close. A creative experience just half an hour from Florence. Step by step you will create a personal piece of silver jewelry. A private lesson tailored to the level and age of the group. You don't need to have any previous knowledge!
In between, you can strengthen yourself with a cup of coffee/water with your hostess and a small snack from the area.
You can also bring old jewelry that is no longer worn and may have emotional value and give it a new life.

What to expect

Via Montetermini, 3A
In the 4 hours in air-conditioned workshop (9.30am-1.30pm//2.30pm-6.30pm) everyone creates their own piece of jewelery out of silver and takes it home as a souvenir of the wonderful activity. We will find ideas together. You don't need to have any prior knowledge.
I also show how to melt and solder silver. You roll plates or pull wire yourself, depending on what you want to create. Then it is sawed, filed, hammered, sanded and polished until the piece of jewelry is finished.
You can also melt down old jewelry and give it a new shape or forge your own wedding rings!
In between there is a delicious snack with products from the area.
On request we can also set up a full day course, with a typical lunch (maybe pizza in our own wood-fired oven, depending on the weather).
All you need to bring is the desire to create something with your own hands: anyone can do it! Families with children also have a lot of fun with handicrafts and are always enthusiastic about their results (see gallery).
The workshop is cleaned with ozone technology for viruses, bacteria and mold. Disinfection gel and masks are available.
