3. After watching the instructor demonstrate the process of annealing, bending, cutting and hammering silver wires, it’s your turn to try your hand. (40 min)

4. Once you’ve finished shaping your earrings, time to add some finishing touches. Add pretty patterns to the earrings using a hammer before polishing them up with care. (20 min)

5. The session culminates in a meal and coffee personally served by the instructor. Enjoy delicious homemade Italian dishes while engaging in a fun conversation with her. (20 min)
