Explore the creative art of wax carving in a small group guided by Rachael from Wombat Fern Jewellery. You will learn how to design, carve, shape and texture your own unique ring using the lost wax technique —an ancient process of carving wax to be transformed into precious metal.

After the workshop, your finished wax ring will be sent to a professional casting house to be cast into solid sterling silver (with the option to upgrade to 9ct gold). Once cast, I will carefully polish and finish your ring at my studio, which will be ready for collection within 3-5 weeks, Rachael will notify you as soon as it is ready.
