Wax Carving Workshop
FAQ
What is a wax carving ring workshop and how does it work?
A wax carving workshop is a hands on jewelry making experience where you design and carve your own ring in wax. Your wax model is then professionally cast into sterling silver or your chosen metal to create a finished piece.
Do I need experience to make a ring in a wax carving workshop?
No experience is required. Our workshops are beginner friendly and designed for all skill levels, with guidance provided throughout the process.
What is the difference between the Workshops and the DIY option?
Workshops are monthly scheduled events. The workshops are hosted by an instructor and you will go through each step together as a group. This option provides the most direction and guidance. Perfect option for celebrations or special occasions.
The DIY is a self directed experience with the flexibility to be done at any time. We ask that you come in at least 3 hours before closing to allow yourself enough time to complete your creation. If you require more time, you are free to come back within 14 days to complete it.
Book your session online to ensure availability.
How long does a wax carving workshop take?
Most wax carving workshops take approximately 3 hours. DIY sessions can vary depending on your pace and may be completed over multiple visits within 14 days if needed.
Do I take my ring home the same day?

Can I add engraving, stones, or custom details to my ring?
Yes. You can upgrade your ring with engraving, stone setting, fingerprint details, or precious metal options to create a more personalized piece.
Gems can be sources for your ring or you can bring in your own. Talk to a staff for more details.
