From Wax to Silver | Carve & Cast Jewellery Programme

Thursday 15 October 2026 | 6:00pm–8:00pm 
Saturday 17 October 2026 | 9:30am–1:30pm

Transform an idea into a finished piece of sterling silver jewellery in this immersive two-session studio programme.

Beginning with a simple block of jeweller’s wax, you’ll learn how to design and carve your own unique jewellery piece before returning to cast it in sterling silver using the traditional process of sand casting. Guided through every stage, you’ll then refine, file and polish your casting, revealing a finished piece created entirely by your own hands.

With a maximum of just three participants, this small-group experience offers plenty of individual guidance in a relaxed and supportive studio environment. Whether you’re completely new to jewellery making or looking to experience a different technique, this programme provides a fascinating insight into the complete journey from design to finished jewellery.
