Learn traditional wax carving techniques and create your own beautiful and unique silver ring!No previous experience of jewellery making is needed and you will be guided through everything you need to know step-by-step, from sizing your ring to carving beautiful details and patterns. Will you choose simple flowing shapes or more intricate patterns? The choice is yours!
After the session your ring will be sent for casting and transformed into solid sterling silver using the lost wax casting method. The rings are then hand finished and available to be posted back to you or collected from the studio approximately 2 weeks after the workshop.
If you usually wear reading glasses please remember to bring them with you. It would also be useful to bring photos and sketches of any ideas that you have, although examples and photos will be available for inspiration.
14 to 16 year olds are welcome but will need to be accompanied by a paying adult.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes are included in the workshop fee, but lunch is not provided.
10am-1pm Friday 12th July 2024 at Fairways House, Mount Pleasant Road, Southampton, Hampshire.
Cost of the wax is included in the workshop fee, as is the casting fee for up to a weight of 1g of wax. If your wax ring weighs between 1.01g and 1.5g there will be an additional cost of £20, payable on the day. If your ring weighes between 1.51g and 2g there will be an additional cost of £40.
Gold plating can be arranged for your ring. This takes a couple of weeks longer and the price will be calculated on the day.
