Wax Carving, Make A Silver Ring
Description
Interested in the world of jewellery making? If this is you then you’re in the right place! Join us for a relaxed, friendly and informative day at the AOK Studio and dive into the world of lost wax carving! This in-person event is perfect for anyone who wants to learn the art of carving wax that is then cast into metal. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, our expert instructor Annie will guide you every step of the way. Annie is an experienced jewellery maker who has been developing her craft for over 5 years. Annie will share with you how she maintains a low-impact art practice, ensuring processes and materials recycled and/or recyclable are environmentally friendly. You’ll get the chance to ask questions and see what you would need to start your meal-smithing journey. During the workshop, you'll get hands-on experience with jewellery making as Annie guides you through various techniques. You will begin by learning about the casting process before Annie introduces you to different types of wax and their purposes. We'll provide all the tools and materials, so all you need to bring is your creativity and enthusiasm! Optional extras such as gemstones and casting in gold can be discussed on the day. After the session, your wax carving will be sent to Annie's favourite and most trusted metal caster down in London to be turned into metal. Before you get your handmade ring, Annie will polish your piece so it is ready to wear. Not only will you leave with a stunning silver ring that you've made yourself, but you'll also gain valuable knowledge and skills that you can continue to explore in your jewellery-making journey. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to create something truly unique. Book yourself into the AOK studio now! - Important info - You must be 16 years or older.

"I signed up to the lost wax carving class running in February after having bought a number of pieces that I am in love with!
Annie is an absolute dream! I would describe the course as an opportunity to bring ideas to life! I’d gone in with an idea (unnecessarily difficult for a complete novice) and Annie was there every step of the way to guide me in the process- no matter how many pieces of wax I snapped hahaha!!"

"Our private wax ring carving experience was superb. Annie settled us in, showed us the techniques, tools and let creative ideas flow. Our rings were so special and Annie was a superb teacher. Brilliant day creating special memories and unique personal jewellery."

"I spent a week with Annie during the Spring. It was a great experience, I learned so much. Annie shared everything she could and advised me on which tools to purchase when I set up my own bench back home in Switzerland."
