This wax carving workshop is a place where your creativity comes alive. The Wax On Workshop - or WOW for short - is a relaxed two-hour session of sketching, carving, and chatting that results in your own ring, pendant or earring design created in jewelers wax.
At the end of your workshop, you'll give the wax to Cat; she'll cast the ring and then professionally finish it to your matte or shiny specifications. Then, four to six weeks later, you'll receive your custom sterling silver creation delivered to your door.
Customized requests for group carves are welcomed!
