About the class
Discover the ancient art of lost wax casting and develop your jewellery-making skills over this multi-week course with tutor Sophie Quinn.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to carve and shape wax to create your own designs, experimenting with form, texture, and scale. Your wax models will then be cast using the investment casting process, giving you insight into how your ideas move from wax to metal.
As your pieces return from casting, you’ll be guided through refining and finishing techniques to bring your designs to life. You’ll have the option to work with new or recycled metal, creating unique, personal jewellery.
Perfect for beginners and those looking to expand their skills, this course offers a supportive environment to learn, experiment, and build confidence across the full casting process.
What to bring
- Apron
- Design ideas or inspiration for your pieces
- Old gold, silver, or other metals for melting (This is optional and will be discussed in the first class).
