Beginner Lost Wax Casting Workshop – 2 Hour Session
Join me for a relaxed and hands-on 2 hour workshop where you'll dive into the magical world of lost wax casting. This beginner-friendly class is perfect if you’re curious about jewellery making and want to explore sculpting your own unique ring or pendant in wax.
No experience? No problem! I’ll guide you through the basics in a warm, welcoming space—just bring your creativity and curiosity.
What You'll Learn:
How to shape, sculpt, and build your design in jeweller's wax
Adding textures and details using wax tools
Exploring different types of wax
The fundamentals of casting gemstones directly into wax
An overview of the full lost wax casting process
What’s Included:
All wax materials for your design
Note: Includes up to 15g of sterling silver – enough for 1–2 small, lightweight pieces. For larger or chunkier designs (like thick rings or big pendants), you may only be able to make one piece. If you require more than 15g, the additional cost of silver will be charged separately.
If you choose to work with 9ct yellow, white, or rose gold, you're welcome to do so, but please note that you'll need to cover the cost of the gold, casting fee, and GST separately. These fees are paid directly to the caster, not to me, as gold prices fluctuate daily and are significantly higher than silver. In this case, you're still entitled to create an additional piece in sterling silver, up to a total of 15g.

1–2 finished pieces (ring, pendant or both) professionally cast, polished, and posted or for pick-up to you within 2 weeks
