Have you ever imagined wearing a piece of jewelry imagined and sculpted by yourself?
This intense and memorable gathering will have its first edition on November 29th, at Casa Múltiplas.
Did you know that the lost-wax casting technique is one of the oldest metal casting methods known to humankind? Used for over 5,000 years, it once gave life to sculptures, ornaments, and works of art in civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia.
Today, this ancestral technique continues to fascinate artisans and jewelers around the world — and for good reason. The process is pure alchemy: the piece is born in wax, encased in a mold, and when heated, the wax melts away to make room for molten metal, which takes on its exact form.
In our workshop, you’ll dive into this millennia-old tradition and learn, hands-on, how to turn your ideas into unique and expressive jewelry — from wax modeling to the final metallic shine.
Come experience the art of lost-wax casting — an ancient craft that continues to shape the future of jewelry design.

Instructor
Elisa Fracchiolla
Goldsmith and Jewelry Designer
It was in 2007 that I decided to study goldsmithing and jewelry design, after an inspiring dream that led me to delve into this art form, almost as old as humanity itself. My studies spanned several continents, allowing me to deeply observe the dialogue between jewelry and art.
Since then, I haven't stopped creating. I define my enthusiasm as a creative fire. My memories and my inner world are the tools I use to shape the metal. What fascinates me most about the world of jewelry is being able to create objects that tell stories, objects of transmission, pieces with longevity.
Perhaps it is the precious nature of the materials, or the tradition and culture surrounding fine jewelry, that makes them symbols of memories and legacies. This is why we create precious objects and express ourselves through them. As transmitters of cherished memories, they play a significant role in intimate moments of our lives.
