WHAT DOES THE COURSE INVOLVE?
Under the expert guidance of either award-winning master craftsmen Russell Lownsbrough or Danila Tarcinale FIPG (both authors of the fantastic Waxcarving for Jewellery) you will explore the fascinating 6,500-year-old technique of lost wax casting.
During this masterclass you will carve your own bespoke ring or pendant from jeweller’s wax, exploring design and technique methods to achieve your desired design.
The course begins with a brief lecture on the history of wax carving, the tools and materials used, and the process of lost wax casting itself. You will then dive into the practical part of the class, where you will design and transfer your idea into wax.
You will gain tutor support throughout the day with demonstrations on key techniques and personalised guidance, ensuring that you gain the skills and confidence to bring your vision to life.
At the end of the class, you’ll have the option to have your creation cast in the metal of your choice (not included within the course fee). The tutor will guide you through available options and explain the associated costs. If you want to continue refining your design, additional classes will be available to further enhance your creation.
