Lost Wax Casting
Bookings are made directly with John

Please note this is a 2 x 1/2 day workshop, you will be required to attend the class twice with a 2 x week space between classes.
In this 2 x individual 1/2 day workshop with John you will learn to carve a ring from a block of wax utilising a more sculpting approach to creating your ring. Personally one of Johns favourite techniques to make a piece, wax carving is a more forgiving way to create your piece and quite often you develop the ring and change the design as you progress through the carving process. This class will also offer you the ability to use a variety of coloured synthetic gemstones which you will place into the wax and once it is cast into Sterling Silver the stones will be 'set'.
Once the wax is created on the first 1/2 day you attend, John will cast it into Sterling Silver which you will clean up, texture, polish and finish on the second 1/2 day you attend 1 weeks later.
In Johns fully equipped studio you will learn the techniques required to measure, roll, cut, solder, file, emery and polish your own individual design idea (John can help with design, if you are stuck) into a beautiful Ring you will be proud to wear home at the end of your workshop.
This is an experience that is not often offered and will give you a small insight into how Jewellery is constructed, you will learn new skills, surprise yourself with your results and have a blast doing so. Our workshops have been greatly received and enjoyed by numerous people already this year with some attendees returning for up to 4 individual classes in our first release of workshops, testament to the great value and enjoyment they have had.
No previous experience is necessary on your part, you will be guided by a craftsman operating in the Jewellery industry for 37 years, running his own business for 27 of those years and delivering custom made Jewellery to countless families, couples and individuals.
Workshop inclusions:
This workshop is scheduled on the following dates.
Thursday 28th April 10.00am to 1.30pm returning

Classes are kept small to ensure you have a memorable experience and the aim is for you to leave at the end of the day with a piece of Jewellery you are both delighted with and proud of.
