This is a two-week class with the first part taking place on June 23 & Jun 30 (Fee covers both classes).
Please come at the same time in the second week as you do in the first.
The price of silver is NOT included, because it will vary depending on the size of the jewellery (and the number of items) you make.
Silver costs are based on the size and weight of the finished item and can range between a few dollars to $100 – this will be explained in the class and you will have full control over this cost in class.
What’s it all about?
Come and make your own silver ring with with a personalised engraved message inside of it!
In this class you will learn the technique of “Lost wax casting”. This involves taking a wax cast, re-sizing it to fit you perfectly and then engraving patterns and words to create your own, unique sterling silver jewellery.
You can make a delicate, fine silver ring or a thick chunky one.
Engrage a message for your best gal pal, lover muffin or a gift for yourself!
This is 100% beginner class and your beautiful teacher Qing will be with you every step of the way to help you make the ring of your dreams.
