Wax Carving Jewellery Workshop
Explore the creative possibilities of wax carving in this focused, hands-on jewellery workshop. Guided by an experienced tutor, you’ll learn the essential techniques to carve your own unique ring or pendant design in wax — the first step in creating beautiful cast jewellery.
During the session, you will be introduced to a range of traditional wax-working methods including:
-
Marking out your design
-
Filing and refining shapes
-
Sawing and carving in detail
-
Using burrs for texture and definition
-
Creating granules
- Using heat to create textures and fix breakages
- Preparing your piece for casting
The workshop fee includes wax for up to two pieces. Should you wish to have your design cast in silver, we’ll provide a casting quote (typically around £30 per piece), payable prior to sending your wax to the casters.
Once cast, your finished piece can either be:
-
Returned to you for at-home finishing
-
Completed during an optional open workshop session (£35)
-
Professionally cleaned and polished for an additional charge
This is an ideal session for those looking to explore new jewellery-making techniques or take the first step toward working in metal through the lost wax casting process. No previous experience is required.
Tutor: Beccy Gillatt
Level: Suitable for total beginners
Materials: Wax for 2 rings is included in the course fee – Casting is in addition to your course fee and this can be quoted on the day
