Discover Recharge workshops - Fora’s monthly event series offering hands-on creative classes, mindfulness exercises, communal experiences and new skills to nourish the soul. From painting and pickling to writing and meditation, get ready to discover something new and recharge with us.
Learn from skilled Ringsmiths’ jewellers as they show you how to carve and sculpt wax to form your very own silver ring in this Recharge workshop.
Wax carving and sculpting is a widely used jewellery-making technique that gives you the freedom to design your ring however you want, without the limitations of a silver wire or strip. By using this technique, you can create a ring that’s 3D, abstract, classic, chunky, geometric, organic or anything else that you can imagine.
The workshop begins with a short introduction to the wax sculpting process and its uses. The Ringsmiths team will share top tips and tricks on how to design a comfortable ring and show you the various techniques and tools that can be used.
You will then start by designing or sketching out your ring (samples will be available for inspiration), before beginning to carve your wax.
Once you’re happy with your finished carving, the Ringsmiths’ jewellers will show you how to prepare it for casting. After the workshop, your carved ring will be cast in recycled silver and finished and polished by the skilled team at Ringsmiths.
Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 3 working weeks after the class. You will be contacted when your ring is ready for collection or delivery.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners with no previous jewellery-making experience.
This workshop will begin at 6pm.
