Step into the world of creativity and craftsmanship with Tayo's captivating workshop. Get ready for an unforgettable experience where you'll delve into the art of lost wax carving to create your very own silver ring. Let's explore the exciting journey that awaits you.
The workshop kicks off with an introduction to the fascinating lost wax technique. Tayo, our expert jeweler, will showcase inspiring examples of what can be achieved through this intricate process. She'll guide you through the various techniques and tools involved, from files to scalpel, ensuring you have a solid foundation to bring your unique design to life.
With Tayo's expert guidance, participants will have the opportunity to conceptualize their desired ring. Through thoughtful discussions and sketching, you'll work on a template to shape your vision. The creative energy will flow as you begin the process of sculpting your masterpiece, carving, refining, and meticulously cleaning the wax.
Once your wax ring is complete, Tayo will take the reins, transforming it into a stunning silver jewelry piece. You'll eagerly await the unveiling, and two weeks later, you'll be reunited with your bespoke creation, you can either collect or Tayo can post it to you for a small fee on the day.
But it's not just about the techniques and materials. This workshop offers a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere, making it perfect for beginners.
