Let's make a Ring in Wax together
And turn it into a unique Silver wearable piece of jewelry. In this Wax StarterClass, you create a ring from scratch in wax. Side by side I will guide you exactly how to, and explain all you need to know to create your unique ring in the best way possible.

This Wax StarterClass gives you the foundation to emerge yourself in the world of wax jewelry making through a technique called Lost Wax Casting.
We start with the needed tools, where to buy them. Followed by creating your first wax ring using Wax Carving.
From a solid piece of wax you extract the shape, just as a sculptor carves a block of marble. This technique is best done with hard wax. You will cut, saw, and file or work the wax with different tools.Within wax filing are many sub-techniques, such as texturing both by removing and adding material, filing a signet ring, carving a shape from a block, and much more. We will explore these as time allows.
