LOST WAX CASTING WORKSHOPS

Join me for a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you’ll be guided through the process of creating your own jewellery piece using the ancient technique of lost wax casting. You’ll design and carve your pieces in wax, which will later be cast into metal.

​

Over 3 hours, you’ll be supported in carving rings and pendants. You’re welcome to arrive with ideas or inspiration, or simply allow your design to emerge naturally as you work.

​

No prior experience is needed. These workshops are beginner-friendly and intentionally small, creating a warm and welcoming space to slow down, connect, and explore creativity through making.

​

Once completed, your wax designs are sent for casting and finished in metal. Your final piece will be ready approximately 4 weeks after the workshop, with the option to collect or have it delivered at an additional cost.

​

Whether you come with a clear design in mind or simple curiosity, this workshop is designed to be a creative and grounding experience from start to finish.

INCLUDED IN THE WORKSHOP:

 

  • All materials and tools

  • Up to three pieces professionally cast into brass or bronze, with up to 20g in metal weight

  • The option to cast your pieces in silver for an additional cost (quoted on the day)

  • Option to make further additional pieces for an additional cost 

  • Your pieces will be finished and polished by myself.

  • Tea, coffee, snacks, and mimosas.
