Complete Beginners: Carve a Stacking Ring in Jewellers Wax (Live Zoom)

Great news for newcomers - no prior wax carving experience is necessary to join this class! Students should purchase their own classes. The classes are hosted strictly in English.

We will focus on carving a basic stacking ring with either a smooth curved profile or a knife-edge. You'll learn about various tools and their roles in creating your ring. While we won't cover sprueing, casting or finishing - this class provides a solid foundation to wax carving at the introductory level.

Our time together will approximately last for two hours, but this may vary depending on the class flow. Ensure you don't have any commitments immediately following our class as it could potentially overrun.

I value mutual respect and a conducive learning environment. Any inappropriate behaviour will result in immediate removal from the class. The Zoom class link/password is for your use only and must not be shared with others. Please review our full terms and conditions for workshops on our website.

My hope is that this class will kindle your interest in jewellery making. You will walk away with your very own hand carved ring and a new set of skills. I am excited to see where your jewellery journey takes you!
