The Workshop
Schedule
Join me for a relaxed afternoon of wax sculpting, where you’ll create your own unique silver ring using the lost-wax technique. With a focus on organic shapes and textures, I’ll guide you through the creation of your dream piece of jewellery as we chat, sip, and enjoy a few bites together. Come on your own, with a partner, or make it a date afternoon with friends.
The workshop takes place in a small group of up to 9 participants and lasts 4 hours.
Wax sculpting is a slow and gentle process that invites calm, focus, and dedication. Once you find your rhythm, you may be surprised by the results you’re able to achieve.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of the lost-wax jewellery-making process and the confidence to turn your ideas into reality by sculpting your piece in wax from scratch.
After the workshop, your wax model will be cast in your chosen metal at a local foundry, then polished and finished by me. Your completed piece will be ready in approximately 2–3 weeks.
Duration: 4 h
Fees: 190.00 euro + materials
Materials: Metal and stones to be paid after the workshop. Silver typically costs €25–50, depending on the weight of your ring.
