WITH ANIA WAWRZKOWICZ
Would you like to carve your own one of a kind silver ring?
Hand crafted jewellery is unique, precious and meaningful. Make it extra special by making it yourself. As a professional maker I can guide you through the process so you can relax, get creative and enjoy the experience.
My workshop is an exciting opportunity to discover the old technique of lost wax carving in order to create beautiful jewellery pieces like rings, wedding bands, or pendants and small objects.
WORKSHOP OUTLINE
It’s a fun, creative and relaxed workshop where I will give you an insight into how to approach the medium. During the workshop you will be carving your very own unique ring using jewellers wax with a selection of tools. We will talk about the lost wax casting process, qualities of different forms of wax, wax carving tools and what can be achieved with this technique.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
You will learn how to cut, carve and manipulate wax to realise your designs. Once you have carved your unique design you will be shown how to prepare it for casting so it can be reproduced in gold, silver or other metals.
I will also give you full information on where to buy tools & equipment if you love the process and would like to set up your own jewellery making studio at home.
Please note as this is one day course we will be only working in wax. You will leave your wax rings with me to cast in silver, polish and post to you within approx 4 weeks.
