Make a Silver Turtle at St Nectan’s Glen – 14th-17th March 2026
Join me for a few slow, beautiful days in a place that feels quietly magical. This retreat is about more than making jewellery — it’s about making space. Space to breathe, to notice, to shape something with your hands and your heart.
What to Expect
- Create a turtle pendant with expert tuition and guidance from Fallen Star jewellery’s Cat Phoenix
- 4 days peace and tranquillity in a magical location
- 3 nights luxury shared accommodation
- Nourishing vegetarian/vegan meals
- Access to the waterfall including private access after hours
- Your own instruction pack to take away
- All materials and full use of all the tools you will need for the project
- Time to relax and connect with others
- A blessing ceremony to energetically charge your finished talisman
We’ll be staying in luxurious accommodation surrounded by nature, where we can reconnect to the elements. Together, we’ll each craft a silver turtle pendant using silversmithing and wire-wrapping techniques. I will be there to guide you through every step of the process. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
There will be time to rest, to walk, to share meals and stories. Time to connect — with the land, with each other, and with the part of you that’s ready to create something lasting.
You’ll leave with a finished piece, yes. But more than that, you’ll leave with a sense of renewal, new connections, and a beautiful talisman that carries your story.
