A 3 hour course introducing you to the art of wax carving and sculpting to create your very own bespoke signet ring. We will begin with a short introduction to the lost wax process and I will show you the tools and techniques used in traditional wax carving. Then we will start with some sketching of ideas, discussion of design and then begin carving your design into the wax!

After the workshop your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished using recycled silver or gold (an additional charge will apply for very chunky silver rings or gold castings). Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 3 weeks after the class and we can post it or have it ready for you to collect from the studio at Elkstone. Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested and paid for at the end of the class. 

Gemstones start from £30 and up and include setting costs. Gold plating ranges from £45-£80. Engraving starts from £45. Please note each of these services have a lead time of 1 week on top of the casting/finishing time. 

This class is suitable for complete beginners and is a great introduction to wax carving. We will break each stage down step by step throughout the class.

Class is suitable for anyone over 12; for ages 12-16 they will need to be accompanied by an adult who is also booked into the class. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. Friday 11th October 10am - 1pm
