Ring Carving 101: Private Class
Description
A Creative Gathering in the Studio
A private, three-hour ring carving experience for small groups who want to celebrate, gather, and make something with their hands.
This is a lively, hands-on studio session designed for birthdays, bachelorette weekends, creative outings, team gatherings, or simply an afternoon with friends. You’ll learn the basics of wax carving and shape your own ring at a relaxed, social pace.
Expect conversation, experimentation, and a little bit of wax dust.
Each participant designs and carves their ring in wax during the session. Afterward, I cast and finish the pieces in solid sterling silver and ship them directly to you.
No prior experience is needed. The atmosphere is supportive and beginner-friendly — focused as much on the experience as the finished piece.

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.
