We would love to invite you to our 5* rated Wax carving ring making class in South London! Led by jeweller, Tilly Sudsbury.
Please read the following carefully before booking :)
Wax is an incredible tool for jewellery making. We use a specific type of hard wax designed for making jewellery, that allows you to make a model of your ring. You can sculpt, carve, melt, build and so much more, to create your desired effect, and at the end of the class, your model will be complete and ready for casting, where you can choose some gemstones and other additions.
Then, we take it away for ‘casting’ in your choice of silver or gold, which is the process that turns your wax ring, in to a metal ring! We will give you a more detailed brief of this during the class so you understand exactly how this happens.
Our classes are 3 hours long, and are designed so that you can make something that you have designed yourself, though we also have samples and can chat through ideas with you, in case you need some more inspiration. You can always reach out to us before your class if you have questions about your design.
All materials will be provided, and no experience is necessary!

We believe that creativity is essential for your mental health, and we are OBSESSED with jewellery, so we bring to you jewellery-making workshops using the wax carving process. This is where you can try your hand at making your own piece of jewellery that you get to keep and will last a lifetime once cast in sterling silver or solid gold.
Our classes started when Founder, Tilly, hosted classes for friends and family, and word spread like wildfire, and she was booked up every weekend hosting classes. With over 13 years of experience as a jeweller and 5 years hosting wax carving classes, Wax Lab was born.
We see firsthand how valuable hands-on creative practice is for our guests, and we want to make this craft accessible for anyone to try. Whether you are considering a career change, this is a great taster session, or if you're just interested to try this as a one-off session or a hobby, this is the perfect, welcoming, and encouraging environment to switch off from the noise of daily life and centre yourself.
Our classes are 3 hours long and are designed so that you can make something that you have designed yourself, though we also have lots of samples and can chat through ideas with you in case you need some more inspiration. You can always reach out to us before your class if you have questions about your design. We can't wait to see you in class!
