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 love those cosy nights in, with soft lighting, reading in bed or on the sofa under a blanket. It's been proven that lighting can have a calming effect on your mood and warm lighting creates a comforting and cosy atmosphere.

In this workshop you will get to create and play with air dry clay and when it comes to homewares it's such a great technique to know as you can really customise these handmade clay lamps without the need for a kiln.

During this session you will be working with air dry clay and we will talk you through some techniques and tips to achieve smooth finishes, and even rolling of your clay.

We will work with you step by step to create these cylindrical shapes for our lights and with the left over clay we will make a little trinket dish to match you lamp. We will also show you how to create that sought after speckled painted look.

Create and model your own unique clay lamp

Hannah will assist you to create your very own small 20cm or medium 30cm diameter drum lampshade, perfect for a bedside table lamp or pendant shade.

20cm Lampshade - Fabric needed - approx 70cm x 30cm - Workshop cost £35

(If you'd like to make the 30cm diameter, please email me to let me know, the difference can be paid on the day)

Feel free to bring more fabric so we can look at the print placement and discuss the best use.  We will discuss the print placement and help you to trim the fabric to size on the day.
