Two Bristol independents come together for a cosy evening wax carving and learning how to make jewellery in your favourite local tap room. Sip signature beer or a glass of wine and learn about the ancient process of lost wax. What better way to spend a Thursday night?
Rebecca and Beth from Silver & Steel will guide participants through the process of carving your very own jewellery. Think signet rings, botanical pendant designs or celestial stackers. Anything 3d you can think of we can help you to make.
What we will cover:
– What is jewellers wax, and how to you turn it into silver and gold jewellery.
– Carve your very own designs from signet rings, to charms to pendants – anything you want! We recommend coming with an idea but if you don’t then no worries, it’s also fun to experiment.
What’s included:
– A medium glass of wine or a beer from the bar or a soft drink
– Wax materials and tutoring from Bristol’s highest rated jewellery studio
Please note:
There is no pressure to spend more money and have your pieces cast, however if you do want them turned into wearable jewellery there are other costs which we will explain properly on the night. These are optional and include:
– Casting costs (depend on weight of your item). You can choose between Silver, Gold or Bronze for your jewellery and we don’t charge a mark-up, these are set by the casting house.
– Gold Plating
– A set finishing fee of £25 per person for us to finish the pieces in house for you (you can include as many items as you like)
– The option of Sand-casting and finishing them yourself in a drop in workshop.
Learn how to model and sculpt with soft red wax or carve your own details using hand tools into the harder blue or green wax. This makes a wax ‘master’ which can then be moulded or cast into sterling silver.
Tutors will explain the ancient process of lost wax casting and offer an additional sand casting workshop for participants who want to give it a go themselves.
Use a ring mandrel to cut out the inside of the wax
Our class size is limited to 6-8 people so you always have plenty of contact with the tutor
At Silver & Steel all of the silver and gold we use in our jewellery workshops is recycled either in house from workshop scrap or from our supplier who sells recycled precious metals
When accompanied by an adult with their own ticket - just let us know beforehand as we have extra paperwork
