In Ulrichstein in the Vogelsberg district (Hesse) We offer the opportunity to successfully put personal jewelry ideas into practice under the guidance of a very experienced goldsmith and in a particularly relaxed and pleasant environment. Our goal is that you have a really good time with us and that you can always remember the wonderful stay with us when you see the piece of jewelry you made yourself.
In our goldsmithing courses we would like to give those interested the opportunity to gain their first experience in goldsmithing and to realize their own ideas. We offer advanced learners the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and build more sophisticated pieces of jewelry. Groups can spend time with friends and with creative jewelry design. Those wishing to get married forge their very personal and unique wedding rings together. And our courses can also be given away as vouchers!
Our weekly goldsmithing courses are probably particularly suitable for interested parties from Ulrichstein and the surrounding area, from the Vogelsberg district between Schotten, Alsfeld and Lauterbach, from the Main-Taunus district or from the Main-Kinzig district.
The weekend courses or courses on your personal desired date are certainly ideal for those interested in the greater Wetzlar, Gießen, Marburg, Fulda, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Hanau or Offenbach area.
But a goldsmithing course with us will also be interesting for participants from further afield if they combine it with a short holiday in our beautiful Vogelsbergkreis and then, for example, with a visit to volcano in Scots or des Hoherodskopfs and its nature reserves. From up there you have a fabulous view all the way to Frankfurt and even the Taunus or Rhön.
We would of course also be happy to give you tips on accommodation options - depending on availability, the accommodations are only a few minutes' walk from our course room.
In our fully equipped workshop course room there are a total of 35 goldsmith workstations on 6 square meters, so that individual support for the individual course participants is ensured at all times. In addition to the classic craft activities such as sawing, filing and soldering, all the other work steps that are necessary to create your finished piece of jewelry are explained, shown and then tried out yourself.
If you already have your own ideas, you are welcome to bring sketches, designs or sample photos with you or send them to us in advance by email; If not, you will of course receive suggestions from us.
In addition to a cozy seating area for coffee or a drink in between and a small jewelry library, there is also a tea bar with delicious nibbles - and now even underfloor heating and a romantic wood fire. 😉
By the way: Although our goldsmith's studio has now specialized in the production of replicas of historical pieces of jewelry, we have of course been mastering all the classic working techniques of modern jewelry making for several decades.
