The most fascinating practical art you can experience during your holidays in Tuscany: a class at a goldsmith's workshop!

Tuscany has got a century old tradition of gold jewellery carried out by goldsmiths that pass their crafts and traditions from parents to children. This is something you can personally experience while visiting Tuscany in a small and authentic workshop in the district of Lajatico, the birthplace of Andrea Bocelli. You enter a welcoming working room in the goldsmith's house, and find yourself surrounded by all sorts of working tools, from pincers to precision instruments. You meet the expert jeweller, a prize winning craftsman who owns a little shop right next to the workshop and decorates all kinds of jems with forget valuable metal. You sit at your working post and take your little pieces of silver 925‰. Then you start remaking what the jeweller shows you. From the initial forging to the final touch you will create your unique and personal jewel!
You can choose to use gold instead of silver and you can personalize it with any sort of gem, adding surcharge corresponding to the value of the gold and the stone.
The lessons take 2.5 hours, from 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm.
This activity is particularly advisable to creative people. In the end of the lesson you will have your personal jewel as a souvenir of Tuscany and a lot of good memories!
