Notes:

Getting your ring back:
  • At the end of the session, you will leave your wax carved rings with me ready to get cast into your chosen metal. I'll give the castings a sand and polish before posting them back out to you. The rings are posted to you via 2nd class large letter to your chosen address.
  • This takes a maximum of 4 weeks from the date of the workshop to the date it's posted to you (more time is needed for gold plating)
  • Please note this class will be utilising cold carving techniques without a flame due to the heath and safety regulations of this building.

  • You will be provided with a series of tools such as files, wax reamers and specifically designed carving tools, jeweller's wax and some design inspiration sheets (feel free to use Pinterest to get some ideas ahead of time).
  • A brass cast of your ring is provided within the cost of the workshop (Silver is a little extra explained below). oh and dont forget the cake and hot bevs!

Optional Additional costs on the day:

Silver:

Casting into silver will be an additional cost of between £10-£25 depending on the weight of silver needed.

Gold plating:

If you wish to get your piece gold plated this is a further additional cost of £10-25 depending on the size of your piece. You can choose to plate onto brass or silver.

Additional creations:

Any additional rings created will coast an extra £10 casting charge plus any additional silver fees etc. This is because the casting charge for the first ring is included into the initial workshop cost.
