Starting at the art and origination department which\u00a0was showcasing beautiful Alchemy paintings that are featured on our catalogue, calendars, t-shirts, art books and many other products and got to talk to the creator and mind behind the tales that surrounded each piece. As well as this they could pick the brains of the designers of our original Alchemy jewellery and other products, finding out how they devise their concepts. From there they moved onto the modelling department to witness how these designs literally took shape and were refined before being sent to final production. Finally they could see through to the jewellery being produced on the factory floor and witness each stage of how the first ideas finally became a reality ready for you to wear.<\/p>\n<p>On their journey around the factory the customers were also shown the fantastic Alchemy Archive of over 30 years of alchemy products. They were given the opportunity to pre-view our new collection which is being released this Autumn, the 2016 Alchemy Calendar and pre-view our Christmas releases. Also The Vault Collections, past, present and future on were on show.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-5828 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-51.jpg\" alt=\"alchemy-open-day-5\" width=\"245\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-51.jpg 3872w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-51-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-51-1024x685.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After all the excitement the weary customers were drawn outside to the succulent smells of light refreshments put on curtesy of McGorum&#8217;s family butchers and Hobgoblin Brewery. Rounding the day off nicely as they departed from us with their own Alchemy Goodie Bag. We \u00a0absolutely loved having everyone here and hope that a glorious day of wonder and enlightenment was had by all. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again and some new faces this time next year when we open the gates again to give everyone a sneak peak into whats been happening here at Alchemy Carta.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-5826 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-31.jpg\" alt=\"alchemy-open-day-3\" width=\"295\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-31.jpg 3872w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-31-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/alchemy-open-day-31-1024x685.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>View the latest Alchemy product yourself at our website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alchemyengland.com\">www.alchemyengland.com<\/a>.
