This workshop with Olive begins with an explanation of the processes and materials involved in making a wax carved ring. The artisan will demonstrate how to correctly size your ring and begin the carving process using a saw, wax file, scalpel and other tools. You'll be guided through the session using various special tools and carving techniques. Olive will also pass around some of her own jewellery pieces to help you visualise how your final ring might look and feel once cast in silver.
Next you will have the opportunity to sketch out your initial ideas. Olive will discuss these with you one-to-one and once you've decided on your design, she'll advise you on how best to bring it to life. With plenty of time for personal guidance, hands-on making and discussion, you'll not only create a unique piece of jewellery, but also gain new skills and insights into the wax carving process.
You will also have the opportunity to add gemstones if you wish, these will incur an additional cost on the day.
After the workshop, your wax creation will be cast in silver, polished and returned to you within two weeks.

Ontmoet Olive
Jeweller
Meet Olive, a talented jeweller based in East London who specialises in wax carving. Olive's journey into the world of jewellery began during her time at art school when she first discovered the process of lost wax casting while creating a bronze sculpture. This experience ignited a passion that has only grown stronger over the years.
After graduating in 2020, Olive dedicated herself to learning all she could about wax carving jewellery. She started making rings and quickly realised that this was her true calling. Four years later, Olive is now a full-time jeweller and continues to explore the endless possibilities of this ancient technique. Her work also incorporates various silversmithing techniques, but wax carving remains her speciality and favourite way to create jewellery.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to hone your skills, Olive's workshops offer a welcoming and inspiring environment!
