Wand Making Workshop (Gainesville)

  • Bivens Arm Nature Park 3650 South Main Street Gainesville, FL, 32601 (map)

After a brief lecture you'll get to choose up to 2 different kinds of wood to make your wand (from 10+ varieties we provide). Next you'll sand and file your wand to create a completely unique design. Finally, you'll select a core to place inside your wand. At the end of the workshop we bring all the witches & wizards together for a special wand dedication ceremony.

No one else in the wizarding world will have a wand exactly like yours! At Worthwich - the wizard CHOOSES the wand.

In this workshop you will learn...
The history & art of wandlore.
Types of wands used by famous witches & wizards.
The magical properties of woods used for wandmaking.
The propose of wand cores.
The significance of wand lengths.
How to choose the type of wood and core that best matches your magical desires.
How to make a wand from raw materials.
How to carve your wand with unique designs and symbols.
Beginner level wood working skills.
How to dedicate your wand and prepare it for magical work.

Every attendee will leave the class with their own personalized wand ready for magical workings and spell casting.

BRINGING A CORE - If you so wish you may bring with you a core for your wand. Your core is an item of great magical significance to you, it is the source of your power. It is the magic within your wand and yourself. Choose it well. The core must be a small and narrow item as it will need to fit inside your wand. Wand sizes vary and limits on core width vary with them. To ensure your core will fit in any wand wood available it should be flexible like hair, feathers, paper notes, herbs, or liquids.
