Ring Making - The Art of Lost Wax Casting Workshop, February 22, 2025
Everyone has an artist inside. The artist is our inner self, what we desire to communicate and express. Whatever your profession is - a corporate executive, a lawyer, a medical professional, in public service, an entrepreneur, a parent, making time to be creative on a regular basis is vital to our well-being. When we try something new outside of our daily work, or when we create something original, we cultivate our ability to think outside the box, keeping ourselves vibrant, open, optimistic, joyful.
I believe in living a creative life for the health and well-being of one's soul. May these classes, of Hand & Heart, spark your curiosity.

Ever dream of making your own ring? This could either be for you to wear personally, or maybe you have someone special in your life who you would like to make a ring for. Come and be inspired by Ann as she teaches you jewelry-making through the art of lost wax casting.
You will learn:
the nuances of wax
techniques to shape/carve a ring design
how to size your ring
Feel free to bring any objects or items that you may want to use either as inspiration or to add texture to your ring.
You will receive:
wax for 1 ring
use of all jewelry-making tools instruction and guidance
a finished bronze ring
The finished mold that you create will be professionally cast and finished in bronze metal, then sent to you. Imagine the thrill of receiving a finished jewelry piece that you personally designed!
Optional upgrades are available for additional charge:
an additional wax ring blank + casting
casting in silver or gold metal
adding diamonds
Please Note: Workshop fees are non-refundable
