Wax Carved Ring Making Workshop – Half Day
Carve some time just for you and enjoy getting creative in a 3 hour workshop introducing you to the ancient art of wax carving and sculpting to create your very own unique ring to be cast in brass, silver or gold.
You will be introduced to the art of lost wax carving and sculpting and will then be guided through the techniques and tools used in wax carving. We will be working with jewellers wax, which is incredibly versatile and allows you to create something 3D, abstract, classic, chunky, geometric or organic, so you can let your imagination run wild!
Once you’re happy with your finished carving, we will show you how to prepare it for casting.
After the workshop, your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished using recycled silver or gold (an add-on option).
