A great inspiring course! Enroll early not to miss out.
A fantastic course that's full of fun and inspiration, at our new waterfront location, Market Lane!
Create interesting designs in wax then send them off to be professionally cast in metal. Once your pieces are back you will be taught how to cut, file and shape them into wearable pieces.
Level 1 students: Learn to work in both soft and hard jewellers' wax and send your waxes away to be cast. When they return you will learn how to clean them up into finished jewellery and/or incorporate them into jewellery in multiple ways. We start with rings but encourage students to think outside the box!
Level 2 students: Advance your carving skills and learn to set stones in your waxes. This can be done either by creating claws and other settings or trying the cast-in-place technique - an organic, exciting process.
Included in the class fee are all your different types of waxes, sandpaper and courier costs.
Not included are the casting and metal costs which vary from student to student depending on what they want to make. Small castings can cost around $7 - $11, and metals prices start at $0.35 cents per gram. Please see details on our Lost Wax page: https://www.workspacestudios.co.nz/lost-wax-detail
This class is great for kids aged 12+. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver.
