From your head, into your hands. 

In this relaxed one-to-one session, I’ll teach you the traditional technique of lost wax carving. Together we’ll use it to realise your own design for a unique piece. 

It’s a chance to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the beauty around while creating some of your own.

The design is (very literally) in your hands. While some go classic and minimal, others imprint using shells, stones or even bark from meaningful places. So feel free to bring inspiring items with you. 

From the start, you’ll have my undivided attention. By the end, you’ll have wax ring ready for casting in a metal of your choice. 

Duration:

3 hours. 

Price:

£150.

Time and date:

Just like your design, we’ll figure it out together. Email me at studio@aniajewellery.com. 

Location:

My workshop is located in PRAKTYKA, our art retreat in the North Devon village buckland brewer. 

Accommodation:

If you want to make even more of your time here, stay with us. We have a range of spaces to choose from.  

What’s included:

The tools and materials we’ll be using on the day are all provided, along with refreshments. And if you fall head over heels in love with the process, I’ll give you all the information you need to set up your own practice at home.

What isn’t included:

After the workshop, the next step will be to pick a metal, and a professional to cast your piece. This process isn’t included in the cost of the workshop, but I’m more than happy to recommend local ethical casters. 

The cost of casting will depend on the weight of the piece and material used, but a ring in sterling silver would be around £30, 9ct yellow gold would be about £150 and 18ct yellow gold would be 300+ (not including VAT).

We’ll weigh your piece in wax so you have a clear idea of the cost in metal.
