LOST WAX CASTING WORKSHOPS

Join me for a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the ancient process of lost wax casting -- creating your own jewellery design from wax, which will later be cast into metal.

Over 3 hours you’ll be guided through the process of carving a ring or a pendant. You’re welcome to arrive with ideas or inspiration, or simply allow the process to unfold naturally as you create.

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

Finished pieces will be ready approximately 3 weeks after the workshop. You have the option to collect or have it delivered at an additional cost.

Whether you come with a clear design in mind or simply curiosity to try something new, the workshop is designed to be a creative and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

INCLUDED IN THE WORKSHOP:

All materials and tools
One piece professionally cast into brass, with up to 10g in metal weight
The option to cast your piece in silver for an additional cost (quoted on the day)
Your piece will be finished and polished by myself.
Tea, coffee, snacks, and mimosas.

LOCATION

Workshops take place from my cosy garden cottage in Chelsea Village, Wynberg.

REFUNDS

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place in the workshop, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks before the workshop date.
