8 Hour Group Intensive: Cast a Gemstone Ring
Many of you have asked about our group sand casting classes, and after much feedback and adjustments we will be offering a 2- Sunday 8 hour group workshop! January is dark and awful here, but our studio remains cozy and carving wax and melting silver is an excellent way to work thru the winter grey.
In this class, you will carve a wax ring or pendant and cast it yourself in Sterling Silver, with the option of including gemstones cast in place.
What: 8 Hour wax carving and sand casting workshop, split over 2x hour sessions
When: Sunday January 19th from 1-5pm and Sunday January 26th from 1-5pm. Attendance for both sessions is necessary to complete the project.
Where: Volksluxus, Naunynstr 52 10999
Cost: 275€ per person. Includes up to 15 grams Sterling Silver, synthetic stones, wax, studio tools, and handouts. If you wish to make a heavier ring, additional silver is available for purchase, as are natural sapphires and diamonds.
Week 1
We will start carving a simple band or signet ring in wax and discuss technical considerations of sand casting. The casting process and safety protocols will be demonstrated and if there is time you will begin casting your rings.
Week 2
We will begin by casting your rings in silver if we have not yet, and then discuss the varying processes for filing, sanding and polishing. You will do every step of the process yourself and leave with a ring that you made with your own 2 hands.
General Info:
This course is designed with the beginner in mind, so no experience, no problem. Class size is limited to 5 people, when it is filled up it is filled up.
