You are invited to join us for a day of creativity, hot metal, and artistic alchemy, where each participant will create a unique treasure of their very own.
Gather in circle with other makers to collaborate with renowned Tanglewood artist and jeweller, Nick Mussell, to shape your own unique piece from start to finish in pewter.. Co-facilitated by jeweller and caster Alfie Mussell, and Forest School leader and home educator, Jo Thompson.
We will meet at Sampford Courtenay Village Hall, a welcoming and creative space, about 5 miles from Okehampton, to get inspired and create together.
The Tanglewood Creations team believe that creativity is a powerful tool for growth. Not only in skill, but in self-confidence, emotional safety, and connection. Our Pewter Casting Workshop offers far more than an opportunity to make a beautiful pendant or pocket totem. It’s a day of being welcomed into a circle within which imagination, care, and empowerment are held.
A little more about the process...
Modeling: Shape your original design using polymer modelling clay.
Mould Making: Press your model into casting sand to create a negative image, forming your mould.
Casting: Pour molten pewter into the mould, capturing every detail of your creation.
Finishing: Once cooled, file and polish your piece into an everlasting treasure to take home.
What to Bring:
Packed lunch and your favourite snacks
Tea and a cold drink will be on offer
Sunday 14th September (other dates available, check out the events page on the website)
⏰ 11 AM - 4 PM
📍 Sampford Courtenay Village Hall, about 5 miles from Okehampton
Families or groups of friends are welcome to join together or individuals can come into the circle.
Parents of young people over the age of 8 are welcome to drop off or stay. Parents or guardians who would like to join in with the creativity and make their very own piece will need to book a place too.
When it comes to age range for this workshop, we trust parents/guardians to make the best decision based on their young person's attention span and temperament. It's a 5 hour workshop, where we like to dive deep into the creative process. We have had children as young as 6 fully engage and enjoy the session, with a little help from their parent, but for independent participation we would recommend ages 8+.
There will be another room available where people can take a break or have a snack, away from the creative buzz. Additionally, there is a lawn outside where you can get some fresh air and blow off steam if needed.
