Workshop List

Learn how to create your own pendant or keychain out of wax in the lost wax casting style of jewelry making. In this 2.5 hour workshop you'll learn about the tools and the process with plenty of time to create your own unique piece. All tools and materials will be provided. Just bring your ideas! Wax is so much fun to work with - totally suitable for beginners, VERY forgiving of mistakes and the possibilities are endless. You will be hooked. Casting and finishing is a separate process, not done on site. You will leave your wax pieces with me after class and I will mail them to you once transformed into the metal of your choice. Casting and finishing costs are not included and will depend on the size of your piece and the material you choose (brass or sterling silver). Costs range between $50-$100. Your kit fee will serve as an initial deposit and I will collect the balance once your piece has been cast.

In this 3 hour class you will produce at least two to three, but most likely many more sterling silver and brass stacking rings to wear home. During this class you'll learn about the tools and equipment and then how to size, form, saw, solder, shape, hammer (texturize) and polish sterling silver and brass using tools such as a caliper, jewelers saw, files, multiple hammers, a butane torch and a dremel among others.
