Step into the world of wax carving and create a ring that’s as unique as you are. This full-day workshop is perfect for complete beginners or anyone curious to explore a new and expressive way of making jewellery.
Why wax carving? Jeweller’s wax is soft, sculptural, and incredibly versatile—allowing you to create bold, organic shapes or sleek, geometric designs that would be difficult to achieve in metal alone.
What you'll learn:
How to design and carve your own ring from wax
Techniques for adding texture, smoothing surfaces, and refining shapes
How to build up wax to mimic granulation and other decorative effects
Tips for preparing your wax model for casting
What you'll make: A beautifully carved wax ring ready for casting—whether it’s fluid and organic, clean and modern, or something entirely your own. The wax mould will then be sent away to be cast in silver
What’s included: All tools and materials are provided. Just bring your imagination and enjoy a relaxed, inspiring day in the studio.
No experience needed—just a desire to try something different and make something truly personal.
Please note: price may vary due to casting costs
