Over three sessions, 15 August, 22 August and 5 September, 5.30pm - 8.30pm, create stunning jewellery using the age-old lost wax technique. This is an excellent opportunity to treat yourself to some creative fun!In weeks one and two you will learn how to work with jeweller's hard wax to create beautiful textures in metal that can be used to create amazing rings or objects. Your waxes will be sent away for casting in the metal of your choice.
Then there will be a week's break before the third session, to allow time for everyone's waxes to be cast. The third 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.
