Over three sessions, on 19 November, 26 November and 10 December, 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, or have a great craft outing with a friend!In weeks one and two you'll 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.
Not included are the casting and metal costs which vary from student to student depending on what sized ring they want to make and the type of metal you choose.

This class is great for teens and kids over 12 or so. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver.
