Art and creativity are a vital aspect of life for everyone. You don’t have to be a professional to be a creative person. My mission as an artist is to share my knowledge and passion for my craft and to inspire others. In an increasingly busy and technological world, it’s hard to carve out time for quiet, stillness and focused work.The jewellery workshops I run offer the space to do this, providing an insight into my world and a chance to learn something new in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

These workshops take place in my art studio on our beautiful farm in North Devon. You can find out more about our art retreat project here: PRAKTYKA.

If you scroll down through the list of workshops, you’ll also be able to read what others have said about their jewellery-making experience with me.

I hope to see you soon.

Warm wishes

Ania

“I had the best day spent at Ania’s studio, she was extremely welcoming and tailored the workshop to my previous experience levels. Ania went through in detail different processes in wax carving, and recommended tools and places for casting. We discussed a specific design I wished to achieve and both carved an example, Ania helped me throughout by working out the best methods and tools to approach it. I feel confident to have a practice now myself and would very much like to go back and progress with more tuition! I can’t recommend Ania enough, thank you.”

Gemma, March 2023, Intermediate Lost Wax Workshop

“Ania's jewellery workshop was a fantastic experience and a big highlight of our trip to Devon! We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Ania, learning about the art of lost wax carving and how to create our own unique wax ring moulds for casting. She's created a wonderfully tranquil space and we lost hours in her workshop carving and chatting over tea and biscuits. We were complete beginners and had no experience in jewellery making. Ania expertly guided us through the process and made it really easy to follow, giving us lots of options and methods to try out to help us create our unique pieces. We can't wait to see how our finished rings turn out!”

“I did this workshop with my son and we had a great time. Ania was lovely and very talented. We created some lovely jewellery in a fun and relaxing environment. Ania even sent us some photos from the day - lovely memories!”

Tina, October 2021, Jewellery Making Workshop, Private Group Workshop

“Ania introduced me to the traditional jewellery technique of lost wax carving, with a warm wood burner welcome at her Praktyka studio in North Devon. I've desperately needed a creative practice I can do in little fits and bursts, which can occupy my busy mind with busy hands - and Ania guided me step by step through this very mindful and therapeutic ring-making method. I'm so proud of what I've made, and to me, it perfectly captures the rock-wave-ancient tree forms I spent time around in September while holidaying in Devon.”

Harriett, September 2023, 1:1 Lost Wax Carving Jewellery Making Workshop

“My new wife and I had an incredible time learning about how Ania came to make jewellery and you can tell she has a real passion for it. An impressive space dedicated for jewellery making and exploring this art. We both HIGHLY RECOMMEND this intimate experience. We are both so excited to receive our finished extra wedding bands. Thank you so much to you both!”

Arran, September 2021, Jewellery Making Workshop, Private Small Group Workshop

“We had the most amazing weekend in Devon with Ania and Henry, starting off with Ania’s wedding ring-making workshop. She made it so fun, relaxed and interesting, talking us through each stage and helping us create beautiful, unique rings, exactly the way we wanted them. My partner Hernan was unsure at first whether he’d be able to do it, but sculpting the wax was a much easier process than he’d imagined under Ania’s clear guidance, and by the end, we were both excited and happy with what we’d created. It makes the wedding feel real now. A really special experience to have together, and a memory we’ll cherish as we wear the rings every day. It was then made even more magical by going back afterward to relax in their dome, ‘Heartwood’, where we were staying, getting cozy by the wood burner, chilling on the sofa, and looking out on the panoramic views of the gorgeous Devon countryside. Heaven!”

Claire & Hernan, March 2023, Wedding Ring Making Workshop

“We thoroughly loved our Wedding Ring Making Workshop with Ania. She explained the process and taught us the ‘lost wax’ technique brilliantly. We felt totally absorbed in it, loved the mindfulness and creativity! Ania’s workshop is in a beautiful part of the Devon countryside, and it was a tonic looking out at the views as we worked. We were able to produce something really personal to us, casted in a metal of our choice and the result is beautiful. We would recommend without hesitation, it was a special day and we would love to come back for another workshop sometime!”

Marianne and Chris, October 2023, Wedding Ring Making Workshop

“My ring arrived from casting, I really love it!
Thank you so much for the workshop it was an invaluable experience.”

Izzy, June 2023

“Thank you again for creating such a memorable workshop experience for my daughter's 21st bday. The ring she created during her workshop with you is really beautiful and so unique and special.”
