Come and learn the ancient art of wax carving
Have you ever wanted to design and make your own jewellery?
Come and join me for a creative and therapeutic jewellery making workshop, creating either your very own ring or pendant necklace at my best selling classes in Warwickshire.
When & Where:
Choose to attend a workshop at either; The Basement Snug in Kenilworth, Warwickshire or The Warwick Arms Hotel in Warwick.
Both venues are beautiful and calming - the perfect environments to be creative and relax in.
In this workshop you will learn the ancient art of wax carving. I will teach you how to carve your own ring or pendant in jewellers wax during a relaxed and fun session. Your wax jewellery will then be cast in to solid sterling silver after the workshop and posted back to you. This is a beginners level class, so you don’t need any previous experience. Everyone will be able to create a piece of jewellery unique to you.

What to Expect
The workshop focuses on the ancient jewellery making technique of wax carving which is a really relaxing and therapeutic way to make jewellery - great for your wellbeing. You'll learn about the lost wax casting process and you will be provided with the tools you need to carve, shape and texture your ring or pendant.
Not sure what design you could achieve? – no problem, after you have booked and paid for the class, I will email you over an inspiration moodboard and will bring more examples on the day of your class for you to look through and provide ideas. On the day you can also be given an extra piece of wax to practice with before committing to your final design.
(Your pendant can be any size you would like up to no larger than 25mm diameter and the maximum width of the ring you will be able to make will be 8mm.)
By the end of the 2.5 to 3 hour workshop, you will have created a wax master that I will send away to a specialist for casting a perfect replica of your design in to recycled sterling silver. I will then hand polish and finish your jewellery piece beautifully and post it back to you within 3-4 weeks.
If you prefer gold jewellery, you will also have the choice to have your jewellery plated over the silver with a thick layer of solid 18k gold for an extra charge of £22 (+ a gold plated chain charge if making a pendant) - payable on the day by either cash or card.
