Join us to learn the process of lost wax carving to create a signet ring of your own design! We'll start with a wax square and slowly carve it into your own personally designed ring. This class is about 4 hours, plus a second 1.5-2 hour polishing session to take place 3-4 weeks later.
Your workshop includes
▹ two sessions: your initial carving class plus a comeback session to sand and polish up your piece to wear
▹ access to all applicable tools to complete your piece
▹ learning some basic techniques like filing, sizing, sanding
▹ wax to complete your project (metal for your piece is extra)
Once you finish your session happy with your ring(s), it will be sent offsite for casting into the metal of your choice. We offer brass, sterling silver, and a selection of 10k-18k gold options. On average, attendees usually spend about $55 for brass, $75 for sterling silver, and $250+ for 10k gold. (Pricing is based on the final weight of your ring which we will go through together). When your ring comes back, it is ready to be cleaned and polished.
WHAT DOES SLIDING SCALE MEAN?
WHAT DOES SLIDING SCALE MEAN?
Sliding scale pricing offers a range of price points for a given product or service. You are given the power to choose the price point that best supports your disposable income at the moment. The scale represents the idea that personal financial resources should not be the determining factor in whether or not someone has access to needed goods and services.
Everyone deserves to feel good and wear pieces which make them feel confident and showcase their personal style. While jewellery has often been considered a luxury, we want to take steps to make it more accessible to a wider audience as best as we can.
