Signet Ring Wax Carving Two-Day Workshop
October 20 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Signet Ring Wax Carving Two-day Workshop on October 20th (full-day) and November 10th (half-day).
Learn the ancient technique of wax carving in this two-day workshop (9 hours total).
In the first class on Sunday, October 20th from 9AM-4PM, you will design, lay out, and carve a signet ring out of wax in your choice of several shapes. We will meet three weeks later on Sunday, November 10th from 9AM-NOON for you to clean up and finish your ring after it is cast in either silver or brass. Basic wax carving, tool use, and finishing techniques will be covered. The casting process will occur off-site during the three weeks between classes. No prior metalsmithing experience necessary.
$149 workshop fee does not include materials. Supply kit available from instructor for $40 on first workshop day. (For safety, be sure to wear closed toe shoes and have long hair pulled back with clips or in a ponytail.)
We will have an hour break for lunch between Noon-1pm. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.
Open to adults only. Please contact us directly if you are interested in seeing metalsmithing options for teens.
