Wax carving jewellery workshop

Have you ever wanted to create your own personalised jewellery through the ancient art form of wax carving? 

This workshop gives you the opportunity to design and make your own jewellery just in time for christmas. 

weather you want to create a gift or something for yourself, this day will allow you to explore and play with the use of the lost wax carving process. 

This craft is incredibly accessibly and a great entry into the world of handmade jewellery making. 

 The workshop price includes:

• tutorials in how to use the wax 
• Wax and wax tools
• The Casting  fees 
• The finishing and polishing of your item 
• The metal cost for bronze/brass ( an extra cost is added for silver)

We will start by discussing the ancient art form of wax carving and exploring its roots and expressions.
Then, you will be able to begin designing your piece on paper first.  There will be inspirational content and creative art to awaken your imaginative designs. 
I will then demonstrate the different waxes and how you can mould and carve them through various techniques and tools to make your beautiful designs and working wax creations come to life. 

You are then free to experiment and play with the different waxes and tools, moulding, shaping and carving your wax, taking your time to create until you feel confident with the result. 

Soft drinks, and snacks ( all vegan) will be provided so you can take breaks and enjoy creating with others in the beautiful setting of the hairy barista. 
Once the workshop is finished and you are happy with your creation, I will send your pieces to my Hatton Gardens (London) casters for your lost wax design to be cast in your chosen metal (Bronze/ brass or silver). Silver will be an extra cost. The casting process can take up to 2-3 weeks. 

Once they are returned to me, I will finish and polish your jewellery pieces and send them to you!

please note there will be no full refunds on no show. 

I look forward to  welcoming you!
