Carve a ring from Wax

Dublin, Ireland

Silver Works

Our wax carving class caters to individuals seeking an opportunity to explore the ancient art form of lost-wax casting through a comprehensive 2.5-hour workshop experience.



Our wax carving class offers an ideal introduction for individuals seeking to explore this fascinating art form. As a community dedicated to fostering innovation and creativity, we prioritize creating engaging, intimate environments where students can thrive.

In our classes, every participant feels confident and supported as our experienced instructors meticulously tailor lessons to individual needs. This personalized approach ensures that learners like you receive tailored guidance and encouragement throughout the course.

Wax carving has been practiced by jewelers for centuries, allowing artisans to create intricate designs from a simple block of wax. In our workshop, participants embark on a journey to master this ancient technique.

Starting with foundational knowledge, we introduce the "lost wax casting" process, which involves carefully removing molten metal from a mold created from wax. Subsequently, we showcase beautifully crafted examples of wax jewelry—rings adorned with delicate engravings or precious gemstones—to illustrate the transformative power of this medium.

As the session progresses, students are guided through the practical aspects of wax carving. Each participant receives a unique wax specimen to experiment with under the watchful eye of our skilled instructors. Through hands-on exercises, learners develop their artistic vision and hone their technical abilities.

The class curriculum caters to both absolute beginners and seasoned enthusiasts who wish to expand their skill set. For novices, we offer basic tools and materials necessary for wax carving. Meanwhile, more advanced students can opt for a thicker ring, priced at an additional €20, ensuring a richer, more substantial final product.

By participating in our wax carving class, participants gain valuable experience in traditional craft techniques while also enjoying the thrill of creation. With each completed project, students witness the transformation of raw wax into stunning, wearable art. Whether you're aiming to enhance your portfolio or simply enjoy the satisfaction of mastering a new skill, our class promises a memorable and rewarding experience.
