We’ll take you through the step-by-step process of planning, carving and finishing a ring of your own design. The first two sessions will emphasize the designing and making of the ring in wax. In the final class you will have your ring in metal and will learn the steps of refinement to complete the piece into wearable jewelry. As always, you’ll leave the class with resource information that will enable you to make future rings galore.

The course fee includes all materials except the cost of casting which will be on a ring-by-ring basis. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at jewelry making, this is an excellent beginner’s course. Wax carving is a very important facet of the jewelry craft that enables you to create completed pieces without an elaborate set-up. You can do this. Start dreaming up ideas and if you intend to make a gift, don’t forget their ring size!

Class is taught by Melissa J Tyson and Kerrie Yeung in their jewelry studio.
