Discover form, function, and feeling as you sculpt wax into a one-of-a-kind ring. With your hands as the tools and imagination as the guide, you’ll explore textures, shapes, and carving techniques to bring your vision to life.

Over 3.5 hours, you’ll experiment with hard wax, starting with a guided design exercise before refining your piece through one-on-one support. Whether you're drawn to organic forms, bold statements, or intricate details, this workshop offers the space to explore and create.

Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike—whether you're learning a new skill, considering further study, or marking a special occasion.

Your workshop fee includes a $55 casting credit toward your metal of choice—sterling silver or gold variations. If you choose to exceed this credit based on your metal selection, the difference will be paid upon pick-up.

After the workshop, your wax design will be sent for casting and professionally finished. Expect your unique piece to be ready for pick-up within 2 weeks.

Come curious.
