Behind the scenes
I’m getting ready for another trip to the casters. Unfortunately not all my samples have survived their time of storage. So at the moment I am remaking some of them. Can you guess what ring I’m remaking here?
With the classes
Remaking this sample has reminded me of how much fun the rings class is! You learn so much about repeated patterns. How to measure and mark them, how to work on them to make it even. And as a bonus, you learn a lot of patience. Because these rings take time! Are you ready to learn all this?
Hi I'm Sandy!
I’m the CEO (Chief EVERYTHING Officer) here at Wax Carvers. I did my first jewellery making class in 2012 and haven’t looked back since. I didn’t fall in love with wax carving until 2018 though. Now wax carving is one of my main loves. And what do you do with love? You spread it around! That’s why I decided to teach wax carving! Make wax carving available to you so you can go ahead and fall in love with it yourself.
Do you want to know what tools you need to get started with wax carving? Do you want to know what wax color you should get?
