Wax Carving Workshop with Vannetta School of Jewellery

Wax carving is a really interesting and effective method of making jewellery pieces such as earrings, rings and pendants. The process involves carving a piece of wax into the shape you want. This is sent to a professional caster and comes back as a silver (or metal of choice) copy of the shape you carved, ready for you to sand and polish. Very intricate pieces can easily and quickly be made using simple carving techniques and you can use this technique at home with minimal tools.

During this short workshop with VS Jewellery School you will be taught a few simple carving techniques to carve a simple ring and get a taste for the process. If you would like to have your piece cast in silver, we can pass on details of a professional jewellery casters who can cast and polish your piece.
