Itinerary
Day 1
Two-hour hands-on jewelry making workshop at Vivalatina's artisan studio. Starts with check-in and safety briefing, followed by live demonstrations and guided crafting, finishing with boutique time and included drinks.
Arrival, check-in & safety briefing
Meet at the Vivalatina workshop entrance for registration, a short safety briefing, and an overview of the session. Staff confirm materials and any design choices before demonstrations begin.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to check in at 304A C. Politécnico Nacional so the session can begin on time.
- The workshop entrance is at street level on C. Politécnico Nacional; if arriving by car, plan for a drop-off rather than long-term parking nearby.
- Look for Vivalatina signage and the boutique window at the address to identify the studio entrance.
Live demonstrations & guided hands-on jewelry making
Watch live demonstrations of silver smelting, casting, and polishing, then follow step-by-step instruction to create a silver piece. The jeweler supervises each participant through forming, finishing, and polishing.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and avoid loose scarves or jewelry while working near the bench and demonstration area.
- If you have long hair, bring a hair tie—hair should be secured during the metalwork and casting segments.
- Pay attention to the instructor's safety briefing before handling tools; most heating and casting steps are managed by the jeweler with participant guidance.
Boutique browsing, finishing touches & closing
Time to inspect finished pieces, receive final polishing/adjustments if needed, enjoy the included beverages, and browse the Vivalatina boutique featuring artisan designs.
Tips from local experts:
- Included 'Bebidas' are served during the closing; ask staff for your drink when instructed to do so.
- Allow 15–20 minutes if you want to try on or closely inspect finished pieces in the boutique after the workshop.
- Bring a small soft bag or pouch to protect any newly finished jewelry when traveling afterward.
