Start: 2025-05-09T17:30:00+12:00
Location: 65 Abel Smith St, Wellington, New Zealand 6011

Over two sessions, two weeks apart, Fri 9 May and Fri 23 May, 5.30pm-8pm, create stunning jewellery using the age-old lost wax technique. This is an excellent opportunity for a date night, best friends' night or a self-care session for a date with yourself!
In the first session, you'll learn how to work with jeweller's soft wax to create impressions of natural textures and creatures like seashells, leaves and feathers. We can also use moulds created using Fimo, and press soft wax into them, which will result in amazing pieces!
Your waxes will be sent away for casting in the metal of your choice. The classes are two weeks apart to allow time for everyone's waxes to be cast.
The second session covers how to trim, clean and finish your casts, turning them into original jewellery ready to wear!
More advanced students can use these sessions to complete projects in a class setting.
Included in the class fee are all your different types of waxes, sandpaper and courier costs.
Workshop fee $220, early bird price $198 till 22 April.
Not included are the casting and metal costs which vary from student to student depending on what sized piece they want to make and the type of metal they choose. Small castings can cost around $6.65 - $8 and might cost between $7 to $20 in metals depending on if you use brass, bronze or silver.
