Blog
Would you like to try wax carving?
Or, if you've tried it, would you like to learn how to make a signet ring?
Then I have great news for you! We have a FREE Wax Carved Signet Ring mini-course available for you!
What is wax carving?
This is starting with a lump of jewellers wax, sawing and filing it down into the shape you require. This can then be sent to a caster to be cast in any metal you want through the process of lost wax casting.
Wax carving is a great technique to add to your jewellery making skills because it is a fantastic way to experiment with an affordable material and also to make more organic shapes that are hard to achieve with traditional sheet metal and wire. The signet ring you'll learn in this course is a great example of this.
Suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience of wax carving, this course covers:
Designing a signet ring in wax
How to carve your wax and prepare it for casting
How to carve your own unique design in the wax
How to clean up and polish your cast ring
The notes include information about the casting process as well as recommendations for casters you can use
