Over two sessions, two weeks apart, Sun 14 September, Sun 21 September and Sun 5 October, 10am-1pm, create stunning jewellery using the age-old lost wax technique. This is an excellent opportunity for a friends' outing, or a self-care session for yourself!
In the first and second session, you'll learn how to work with jeweller's soft wax to create impressions of natural textures and creatures like seashells, leaves and feathers. We can also use moulds created using Fimo, and press soft wax into them, which will result in amazing pieces!
Then there’s a week's break before the third session, to allow time for everyone's waxes to be cast. The third session covers how to trim, clean and finish your casts, turning them into original jewellery ready to wear!
More advanced students can use these sessions to complete projects in a class setting.
Included in the class fee are all your different types of waxes, sandpaper and courier costs.
Not included are the casting and metal costs which vary from student to student depending on what sized piece they want to make and the type of metal they choose. Small castings can cost around $6.65 - $12 and might cost between $7 to $30 in metals depending on if you use brass, bronze or silver.
Workshop fee $256, early bird price $230 till 17 August.
