Ring Carving 101: Private Class
Description
A private version of the Wax Carved Ring Workshop, designed for small groups who want a more personal, relaxed experience.
Together, you’ll spend three hours designing and carving your own rings in wax, learning the foundations of jewelry-making along the way. Each piece will be professionally cast in solid sterling silver after the workshop and shipped to each participant.
This class is well suited for celebrations, birthdays, creative gatherings, team outings, and meaningful time with friends. No prior experience is needed — the pace is calm, supportive, and beginner-friendly.
All tools, materials, and wax are provided. Ring sizing is included, and class size is intentionally limited to allow for individual guidance.
Finished sterling silver rings are cast and polished after the workshop and shipped within approximately three weeks.

What is Lost Wax Casting
The ancient technique of lost wax casting has been utilized for millennia to produce jewelry and other metallic artifacts. First, a mold made of sand or plaster is carefully poured over the wax model. Then, the wax is melted away, leaving a void in the mold. Finally, molten metal is poured into the mold, creating a perfect metal replica of the original wax carving.
