This class is designed to provide you with the essential groundwork needed for wax carving all whilst enjoying a cocktail and in a relaxed, creative environment.

Carving wax gives you endless options to freely design whatever ring you want, as you are not limited to a silver wire or strip. This technique allows you to create something 3D, abstract, classic, chunky, geometric or organic, so you can let your imagination run wild!
The workshop begins with a short introduction to the lost wax process and its uses. The Ringsmiths team will inform you about basic tips and tricks on how to design a comfortable ring. Showing you various techniques and tools that can be used.
You will then start by designing/sketching out your ring, (samples and images will be available for inspiration) before beginning to carve your wax.
Once you’re happy with your finished carving we will show you how to complete the ring and prepare it for casting. After the class your wax carved ring will be cast, finished and polished by The Ringsmiths using recycled silver. We will contact you once it’s ready for collection or we can post it out to you.

If you wish to have your ring gold plated or have your wax cast in solid gold then this will be at an additional cost and can be paid for and decided on the day.

Your finished silver ring will be ready for collection or posting within 3 weeks after the class.

Extra services such as engraving, gold plating and stone setting are offered at an additional cost. These can be requested at the end of the class. Please note each of these services have a lead time of 3 weeks on top of the casting/finishing time.

We'll guide you through a few different painting techniques (beginner friendly - don't worry!) and will provide a selection of patterns and designs (or you can bring your own) that you can re-do on a ceramic piece of your choosing. You'll also be shown a nifty  way to transfer images onto a ceramic piece, so it can be painted in. Or you can just freestyle with the  large selection of colours we have. 1,000s have come to this class and we continue to be amazed at what guests make - check out the photos. The class is BYOB and we'll provide tea / coffee if you prefer.

You'll leave having painted some fantastic ceramics for you or as a present. You'll also feel the proven mindfulness benefits of being creative - it is amazing!

Festive season 2024*
From November 17th to December 6th in this class, you'll also be able to paint your very own festive decorations during this class if you like, like ceramic baubles, angles and stars with acryllic paint (so no kiln firing required). Ideal for a Christmas tree. Don't worry though, we'll still stock the usual bowls, mugs, plates etc which you can pottery paint - which are ideal for gifting too!"

I can now offer this class virtually, though you are welcome to bring your machine into the in-person class.   We will explore the sewing machine through the differing components, dials and how to thread it up.  If you have questions about the different feet supplied with your machine they can be answered.

This hour lesson will cover the sewing machine, sewing straight lines (what to look for when sewing), taking it to a curved edge and even a few different seam styles.  Choose from 1 to 1 or group class. You will enjoy a pleasant environment with a patient tutor near Canning Town station.  All equipment is provided for your learning experience.

Welcome to our first at-home paper peony workshop.

We usually teach this class at our studio in London; we’ve now tweaked the format a little so you can learn how to work with crepe paper and sculpt your very own paper peonies at home.

Here you can find a detailed step-by-step guide but we’d really like for you to visit the online tutorial packed with demos and tips.

Now, let's make some flowers...

Will it be relaxing?

Candle-making is wonderful. Creating candles is a sensory experience that relaxes the mind by getting you in flow and allowing us to focus only on the material and the scent. We won't go full candle geek on you, but making candles stimulates neural input from almost all of our senses, including our smell, touch, and visual pathways which communicate with both left and right hemispheres of the brain. Expect a natural calming effect and a beautiful candle.  You will love it.
