About the event
Discover Wax Carving
In this 3 hour workshop, you will learn the basics of wax-carving and create your own ring, pendant or pair of earrings, completely unique to you!
You can either come with a design in mind, or if you're unsure of what to make, you can choose from a selection of Bonnie's simple designs to create yourself. Wax is easy to shape, allowing for bold, sculptural designs that are hard to achieve with traditional metalworking techniques. Perfect for all abilities!
From Wax To Metal
Your carved design will be sent to a casting company, transformed into metal, and polished up by Bonnie.
Please bear in mind that casting fees are additional, so your ticket covers the cost of the workshop only. The cost of casting your item/s will be worked out at the end, and is dependent on the weight, size and metal you'd like to have your item cast in.
Guidelines on pricing: Brass £25+, Silver £35+, Gold Plated Silver £45+
After the workshop, your jewellery will be ready to wear in 3-4 weeks - it's worth the wait!
Workshops For Everyone
Whether you're learning solo, crafting with a partner, or sharing the experience with friends, all are welcome to come and enjoy a fun experience and learn some new skills on the way!
* Please note that the cafe will not be open, but refreshments will be available.
