Our instructors are in town for a week, let's make some wands! Join one of our sip and carve events happening at multiple venues across the DC metro from April 23rd-27th.
Worthwich presents our 2-hour woodworking and wandlore class, fully guided and instructed by professional wand makers. Learn about the history of wandlore, the magical properties of wand woods and cores, and the importance of combining 4 elements - wood, core, length, and design to create your ideal wand.
All our venues serve drinks and most have a full menu of delicous bites as well! Come early to grab dinner before the class begins and don't forget to grab a brew to enjoy during the workshop.

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 (no hot glue and chopsticks here).
Finally, you'll select a core for your wand. Your core is placed inside your wand's handle in a specially drilled hole. At the end of the workshop we bring all the witches & wizards together for a very 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 magical uses 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.
