Carve and
sculpt

In the workshop you will be given a set of tools to measure your ring size, and the materials to create your perfect ring. After a quick demonstration, you'll have the knowledge you need to make your own ring. But don't worry, I'll be there every step of the way!

Get creative

Now is your chance to explore your creativity in a safe environment and make the ring of your dreams. Use shells or your fingerprints to create organic textures, or try melting the wax to make your very own molten ring!

Finishing touches

After the workshop I take your wax ring back to my studio and make any final adjustments to the size or texture to ensure the ring will fit comfortably. I will then add a sprue on to your ring and send it off to my Birmingham casting house to be cast in recycled silver or brass (your choice!).

Receiving your ring

After the ring has returned to me from the casters, I will get to work on filing and polishing the ring. Your ring will be posted back to you in sustainable packaging.
