MaxWax – Lost Wax Jewellery Making Class- April 18 and 25
Carve your ideas in wax. Cast them in silver.
In this two-day jewellery workshop, you’ll learn the fascinating lost wax casting process while creating a custom sterling silver ring entirely of your own design. From shaping wax to finishing silver, this hands-on class introduces one of the most versatile techniques used in jewellery making.
Day 1: Wax Carving & Design
We begin with jeweller’s carving wax, where you’ll learn how to shape, cut, and sculpt your own ring design. Your instructor will guide you through the tools and techniques used to manipulate wax—from refining proportions to adding texture and detail.
You’ll also learn the theory behind the lost wax casting process, understanding how your wax model will ultimately be transformed into solid silver.
At the end of the first session, your wax ring will be prepared for casting.
Day 2: Casting Demonstration & Finishing
During the second class, students will witness the casting process in the studio, seeing firsthand how wax designs are transformed into sterling silver.
Once the rings are cast, you’ll move on to finishing techniques. You’ll learn how to file, sand, refine, and polish your ring, bringing your design to its final wearable form.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a finished hand-carved sterling silver ring and a deeper understanding of the lost wax casting method used in professional jewellery production.
