Make Your Own Ring: From Wax to Metal
FALL: OCTOBER 13 - DECEMBER 6
MONDAYS
11/2, 11/9, 11/16
6 PM - 9 PM
Class Description:
Carve your own ring in wax using an ancient jewelry-making technique, then finish it in metal after it’s cast offsite. This beginner-friendly class guides you from design to polished, wearable piece, giving you a one-of-a-kind ring you made entirely yourself.
Perfect for beginners, creatives, and anyone curious about jewelry making without prior experience. Ideal for those who enjoy hands-on, meditative work and want to create something personal and meaningful.
Students will learn beginner wax carving techniques, including shaping, refining, and adding texture to their designs. The class also introduces the basics of designing for casting, and students will gain skills in finishing and polishing metal after casting.
Each participant will complete a carved wax ring they design on their own during the first week. After it is cast in metal, they will finish and polish it themselves during the second week workshop. Students will leave with a one-of-a-kind ring of their own design and a full understanding of the wax-to-metal process from concept to finished piece.
NOTE: A $25 MATERIALS FEE IS INCLUDED WITH THIS WORKSHOP.
Teacher Info:
I am a silversmith and founder of Ninimosi Jewelry. Working from a small home studio in Jenkintown, PA, I hand-forge each piece using recycled precious metals and traditional metalsmithing techniques. My work is rooted in personal history, slow fashion, and the belief that jewelry making is a form of art that creates wearable art while expresses individual personality. My goal is to spread traditional jewelry-making skills, ensuring the craft remains alive and human in an increasingly AI-driven world.
