Ring Making
In this 2.5 hour hands-on workshop you will learn all the skills required to design and create your own bespoke ring using ancient wax carving techniques!
This workshop is a perfect opportunity to free your mind, get creative and connect with other like-minded people whilst making a special heirloom.
We hold a lot of sentiment in the jewellery we wear. It has the power to transport us, to bring back memories of loved ones and experiences. Hand-making a special heirloom only amplifies this. You can use this time to make the perfect present for a loved one or make a special ring to celebrate yourself.
No need to come with a design in mind, the creative process will allow some time to brainstorm with inspiring materials to help you come up with your very own and unique piece of jewellery.
All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. However, if you would like to deepen your existing skill set, that is possible too. The techniques in wax carving and what you can create in wax are endless! I will tailer a portion of the workshop to each individual's design, but will also cover all the different methods and techniques used in wax carving for lost wax casting.
There will be some exciting optional upgrades available in-class, including gemstone setting, gold plating or engraving to make your ring even more special (available for pre-purchase or to add on the day).
By the end of the class, your piece will be completed, ready for casting which takes about 2 weeks.
The price includes materials to make a ring up to 4mm width. If you'd like to upgrade to a thicker ring, you will simply be charged for the additional weight in silver (calculated in class based on the final weight) plus a £5 casting upgrade fee.
If you would like to upgrade to solid gold you may do this on the day. We will weigh the wax model to determine the cost of gold.
Add-ons available for this class
  • Engraving - name or short phrase (£30)
  • 18ct gold plating (£45)
  • 2mm cubic zirconia stone & setting (£25)
You can add these when you book (optional).
 
Knowledge required
This class is perfect for beginners - no prior experience is needed. However, if you do have experience, I will cater to you and add extra challenges to build on your skills.
This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a team building activity, birthday or hen do.
This would also be a nice gift for her, gift for mum, anniversary gift or birthday gift.

Hello! Thanks for taking a moment to read about my journey into jewellery making! Jewellery has been my second career after working in the costume department for film and tv. It started as a hobby between jobs and became a serious passion turned side hustle after I took a training course in Wax Carving for lost wax carving in 2015. Not only did I fall in love with the endless limits of creativity in this method of jewellery making, but I enjoyed the therapeutic and meditative qualities of the process.
I am the designer/founder of Anonoma Jewellery and keep a foot in the film world by making custom pieces when needed. I've been fortunate to make jewellery for The Crown, The Rings of Power, House of Dragons, Death On the Nile just to name a few.
In 2020, I created a Ring Making Kit with an at-home guide and series of wax carving tutorials so that I could share this passion of mine with others during lockdown. Following the success and fun that came from the kits, I decided to start teaching workshops! I love introducing this unique, ancient craft to others because I believe creativity is good for the soul, and it gives you the opportunity to create something truly special that you can wear for your whole life and even pass down!
I look forward to meeting you and having some wax carving fun!
