Experiment with glass finials, stones, runes, German Dresden trims, and other curious details, along with distressed effects like scorching, cracking, weathering, and worn finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill your wand look like an elegant magical heirloom passed down through generations? Something carried through a dark and dangerous adventure? A treasured tool belonging to a woodland witch, wandering wizard, or forgotten scholar? The story is entirely up to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your wand is complete, you’ll create a wand lore card recording its name, history, and unique magical properties before tucking it safely into its own velvet pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWandcraft will be led by Erin Hurst and Stephen Sauer.
