Our wax carving class is for you if you want to give wax carving a try and have some fun!
Learn the ancient art of lost wax casting in our brand new 2.5 hour workshop.
Cost is only €99. This includes carving, casting and clean up of your ring, tea/ coffee, snacks and expert tuition.
You will carve your own ring on the day and it will then be sent off to be cast into sterling silver. The ring will come back approximately 3 weeks later and our team of goldsmiths will then finish the ring for you, by sanding and polishing it.
What is wax carving and how does it work?
How long does the class run for?
The class is 2.5 hours. And this includes, all material and your finished sterling silver ring.
Casting
After class we take your carving to professional casters who take a mould of your design. They then pour the silver into your mould to create your piece of Jewellery. It will be returned to us within 3 weeks and we will clean up your casting to your chosen finish – matte or shiny – and return it to you once that’s finished!
The finishing touches
Once your piece has been returned to us, our team of Goldsmiths are on hand to clean and polish your ring. This is included in the class fee.
