About the class

 

Searching for an immersive jewellery-making experience in Sri Lanka? This exclusive workshop in Ahangama offers the perfect blend of creativity and craftsmanship.

This unique class offers an unparalleled opportunity to design and craft your own textured ring from scratch—using techniques rarely available in beginner classes. With full creative control, you’ll work with malleable wax to melt, carve, scrape, and handcraft a truly unique piece that reflects your vision.

Unlike standard classes, you’ll take your jewellery-making skills further by melting and pouring your own silver into natural clay-sand to cast your design. The depth of this 3-hour workshop ensures you’ll walk away with far more than just a ring—you’ll gain hands-on experience with sand casting methods and the satisfaction of creating a complex, personalized work of art far beyond standard beginner workshops.

In this hands-on, 3.5-hour class, you’ll have complete creative freedom, learning to shape and mold malleable wax through melting, carving, and sculpting to bring your unique vision to life. Then, take your skills up a notch by melting and pouring your own silver into natural clay-sand to cast your design—a practice inspired by traditional sand-casting methods.

Whether you’re a traveller exploring unique things to do in Ahangama or a local resident of South Sri Lanka, this workshop is a must. You'll gain in-depth experience with authentic techniques and leave with a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted ring and the knowledge to take your jewellery-making further. Perfect for anyone seeking artistic experiences near Galle and Ahangama, this workshop offers more than just a ring—it’s an unforgettable, artisanal adventure.

Everything we make is handcrafted, and we are talking old-school hammer to the metal, no hi-tech machines type of handcrafted. It's hard work out here but the amount of time and effort that goes into every piece means there is a whole lotta love put in.

The handcrafted nature of our work means that it takes a little longer for us to make it, and no two pieces are alike. This makes your piece extra special, but please allow for minor differences between pieces.

The same goes for gemstones! We only use natural gemstones and no two gemstones are exactly the same, so please allow for minor differences.
