Join us for a relaxed dive into the ancient art of wax carving, where you'll not only learn a skill but also dabble in a bit of history and a whole lot of fun. Ever thought about the backstory of amulets? These little trinkets have been holding people's secrets for ages—think of them as the original mood rings, packed with significance across cultures, religions, and quirky belief systems. They've transitioned from being powerful protection symbols to trendy little pieces that say, "Hey, I'm stylish and spiritually aware." With a bit of guidance, you'll be crafting your own wearable piece that's equal parts personal statement and might just keep the bad vibes at bay.

We'll be using soft jewellers' wax, which is basically wax's cooler cousin—similar to beeswax but way more forgiving. It's an easy-peasy carving technique that lets you add or remove material, so you can really get those organic shapes flowing without breaking a sweat. Just picture yourself getting lost in some creative bliss, sculpting your own talismanic charm that would make even the ancient artisans nod in approval. Sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning.
