Goldsmith Workshop in Tuscany

The most fascinating practical art you can experience during your holidays in Tuscany: a class at a goldsmith's workshop!

Tuscany has got a century old tradition of gold jewellery carried out by goldsmiths that pass
their crafts and traditions from parents to children. This is something you can personally
experience while visiting Tuscany in a small and authentic workshop in the district of Lajatico,
the birthplace of Andrea Bocelli.

After meeting Sandra and having a short introduction about her 20-year-long career after an
education at a jewellery school in Florence, you sit at your working post and take your piece of
silver 925‰. You will be inspired in your creation with the help of the expert jeweller and
then you will start following the instructions of Sandra, who will select the best techniques for
achieving your goal. From the initial forging to the final touch you will create your unique
and personal jewel!

You can choose to use gold instead of silver and you can personalize it with any sort of gem,
adding surcharge corresponding to the value of the gold and the stone.
The lessons take 2.5 hours, from 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm.

On normal working days the lessons start at 1:00 pm and go on for 2,5 hours. If Sandra is
available, timing can be adjusted to earlier or later in the day. This activity is particularly
advisable to creative people. On the occasion of the class you can order a ring, a collar or a
bracelet and have it made by the artist during your stay in Tuscany.
In the end of the lesson you will have your personal jewel as a souvenir of Tuscany and
a lot of good memories!

Cost: Starting from €350 for 2 people.
