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.

What is included in the Wax StarterClass
- 2.5 hours undivided time with me to work on your jewelry project

Absolutely would recommend 10 out of 10. This is an unique class that should be taught on every silversmithing school. I learned more in 3 hours than I have done in my whole school career. This saved me so much time and money. THANK YOU!

I love Daphne's teaching. She is so generous in sharing her resources and knowledge. I also admired her creative skills and her eye for design and finishing. To all the jewelers out there that need a push. You will not be disappointed!

I was taught the traditional way of jewelry making. But this Masterclass has opened up my world completely. Together with my new learned skill I can now create any design a customer asks.

The Wax StarterClass with Daphne was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, and I really enjoyed our chats throughout the session. Daphne guided me through an interesting technique, making everything feel easy and enjoyable. I designed my own ring and got to see it transformed into a beautiful silver piece. Now, my new ring is not only unique but also my favorite. Highly recommend this experience!
