We offer a range of short experiences and hands-on workshops focused on specific techniques, as well as tailor-made sessions for individuals or groups. You can find some examples of our offerings below.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, or if you have a special request in mind, feel free to reach out, we’d be happy to create a unique experience that fits your needs!

At the end, you'll select the metal for your piece to be cast. Price: from €100 per person + casting and metal fees.
