Create wearable memories one charm at a time. In this hands-on series, students learn the art of wax carving as they design and sculpt original metal charms inspired by meaningful themes. Each class highlights a different subject—initials, botanicals, favorite foods, and travel symbols—offering a unique creative lens and a chance to explore expressive small-scale sculpture.
Dante will guide participants through sketching, shaping, and refining wax models using both hand and heated tools. After class, each charm is cast and polished in her studio. Finished pieces may be picked up at CAE or mailed directly to you.
All materials are included. Workshop fee covers one brass charm, with optional upgrades to sterling silver or 14K gold (priced by wax weight, paid directly to the instructor).
Workshop Descriptions
1. Initial Charms (1/24)
Design a personal initial or monogram charm using letterforms, texture, and low relief. Create a meaningful keepsake that reflects your style.
2. Botanical Charms (2/6)
Transform natural inspiration—leaves, pods, blossoms—into tiny sculptural charms. Learn how to interpret organic forms with texture, depth, and movement.

3. Favorite Food Charms (2/21)
Capture your favorite snack or drink in wearable form. From croissants to martinis, learn to stylize everyday objects into playful miniature art.
4. Travel Talismans (3/13)
Create a charm inspired by the places and journeys that matter to you. Explore symbols like mountains, waves, compasses, or landmarks to craft your personal travel token.
