Details
Duration: 2.5-hours
Location: Carrer de Verdi, 150, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona
Description: A 2.5-hour studio session and hands-on introduction to working with different types of wax (soft, hard, sheet, etc.), each offering a unique way to shape your design. You’ll be creating your own piece, without the need for further retouching. Once your wax ring model is complete, Anna will take it to a local foundry, where a professional caster will turn it into a ring made of brass or 925 sterling silver. The piece will be delivered two to three weeks later, with the possibility of extra finishes, such as adding gemstones.
Includes: Studio session, wax materials, tools, and brass casting of one created piece. If you want your jewelry made in silver or gold instead of brass, or want any extra finishes (stone setting), it will be charged separately. Stone setting starts at €30, with a selection available to purchase on the day.
About the artist
Anna Ruiz Planella is a Barcelona-based jeweler and the founder of Aguamarga Studios. She began her silversmithing studies in 2020 at Escola Massana in Barcelona and continued her training through specialized courses between 2021 and 2023 in schools and workshops across Barcelona and Lisbon, where she worked under the guidance of Judy McCaig. Alongside this formal education, her practice has been shaped by self-directed learning and experimentation.
Working primarily with metal, Anna places sustainability and craftsmanship at the center of her process. Her pieces are conceived as small, wearable sculptures, created through traditional silversmithing techniques.
Inspired by close observation of her surroundings, she translates natural forms, textures, and quiet details of everyday landscapes into contemporary jewelry—objects that invite both reflection and touch.
