In this engaging introductory workshop, jeweller and metalsmith Regine Schwarzer invites you to explore the art of silver ring making. Perfect for beginners and intermediate students, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to create a custom-sized sterling silver ring using wax carving techniques. Whether you're new to jewellery making or looking to expand your skills, this session promises creativity and hands-on fun.
You will learn to carve, manipulate, and texture wax to shape your own ring, guided step-by-step by Regine. The day includes experimenting with various tools and methods to add intricate details and patterns to your design. You'll also discover how to properly size and fit your ring for comfort and wearability. By the end of the workshop, you will have completed a hand-carved wax model that will be cast in sterling silver after the session.
The workshop fee includes all materials, up to 10 grams of silver, use of tools, foundry casting, and finishing costs. Optional gem inclusion is available for a small additional fee, with a selection of Australian sapphires provided or you may bring your own gem. The finished silver rings will be ready for collection approximately three weeks after the workshop, with postal delivery options arranged directly with Regine. This workshop is suitable for participants aged 16 and older, with no previous experience required.
