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 I will then guide you though 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 additional charge will apply for very chunky silver rings or gold castings).

Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 3 working weeks after the class.

A wonderful way to connect and  carve out a couple of hours to make a very special ring for yourself or as a gift. No experience needed, and small class size ensures you get the attention you need.

Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested and paid for at the end of the class.

• Gemstones start from £30 and up and include setting costs
• Gold plating ranges from £40-£60
• Engraving starts from £45

Please note each of these services have a lead time of 3 working weeks on top of the casting/finishing time.
