Work on your own wax carved design with my 1:1 guidance! If you have a little bit of wax carving experience but require assistance with conceptualising and carving a new design - this is for you! Sometimes we get stuck and need a little push to break into the next skill level, so join me for 2 hours or 6 hours or more until your heart is content! You aren't required to complete your wax carving (unless you wish to), however I will help you get started. I'll show you how to mark and measure your waxes, to aid with design conceptualisation and the lost wax reductive process! Available Monday - Friday (and occasionally on weekends).

You didn't attend any lost wax carving workshops and embarked on your own self taught journey. You sent your wax carved ring away to be cast in silver or gold, and you've now received it back. It's in your hand looking dull with sprues and all, and you're thinking "well, what do I do now?"! Have no fear! My metal polishing/finishing masterclass is here! BYO bring your own cast ring (lost wax cast, or sand cast) and I'll guide you through the steps to professionally finish it for personal wear or sale! I'll provide tools, equipment and safety gear for use in the studio on my fully equipped professional jeweller's bench, and you can BYO ring!
