Jewelry Workshop

Join me for a relaxed time of wax sculpting to create your own unique silver piece using the lost wax technique. 

DURATION: 3 h
Maximum partecipants: 5
Entry level: no knowledge of goldsmithing is necessary, everyone is welcome!
Address: Rua do Rosario 50, Porto, Portugal

Note: For groups of at least 4 people, you can contact me to arrange a private workshop on a mutually agreed date :)

Wax sculpting is a slow and gentle activity that requires calm and dedication. Once you get into the flow you will be surprised at the results you can achieve.

Come with one or two ideas, either in a sketchbook, on your phone or in your mind, and be prepared to adapt your ideas to the medium.

By the end of the course you will have a complete idea of what the process of making a piece of jewellery through the lost-wax technique is and you will be able to turn your ideas into reality by creating the wax for your jewellery from scratch.

All tools and materials used during the course are included. The price covers the casting of one silver piece weighing up to 6 grams or two pieces weighing up to 3 grams each.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

If you wish to create additional pieces or exceed the weight limit, extra charges for materials and services will apply as follow:

It is possible, if you wish, to gold plate your ring and to set stones for an additional cost.
The cost varies depending on the design and weight of the piece. These can be requested and paid for at the end of the class.

TIMING
After the workshop, your wax model will be cast in silver 925, and polished and finished by me. Your piece will be ready to pick up at the studio in approximately 3 weeks.
