Back To Nature Workshop Recap: Crafting, Connection and Creativity

Back To Nature Workshop Recap: Crafting, Connection and Creativity

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some highlights from our third Back To Nature Workshop at Purusha Retreats, and wow, what a magical evening it was!
Nestled just outside Navenby, the eco-conscious retreat venue set the perfect scene for our gathering. We kicked things off in a stunning dome that felt like a cozy hug from nature itself. The surroundings were bursting with inspiration—every leaf and tree bark had a story to tell.
After a little nature exploration, we gathered around a warm fire, ready to dive into the art of hand-stamping metal. We chatted about the different tools and techniques, and how we could recreate the textures and prints we found in nature. It was all about taking the beauty around us and translating it into something personal and wearable.
Once we got the hang of it, we practiced on copper before brainstorming our design ideas. And then? It was time for a well-deserved snack break! We fueled up with some delicious goodies, then the real fun began—working with silver!
The creativity flowed as guests chose their projects. Some opted for adjustable cuff bangles, stamping affirmations and cherished messages, while others went for our signature wrap rings. These pieces were made extra special, using birthflower stamps to celebrate loved ones' birthdays. It was heartwarming to see everyone pouring their sentiments into their creations.

We also had a mix of bar necklaces and bracelets being crafted, with beautiful markings on both sides. We cut the chain lengths to fit their unique styles, and those pieces were taken with Caroline to our home studio for soldering and that professional high shine finish.
At the end of the night, our guests shopped the secret sale. Even though we missed the sunset, the ambiance was perfect, and we left with not just stunning jewellery, but a ton of lovely memories.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for this enchanting evening! We can’t wait to see you at our next workshop—let’s keep the creativity flowing!
