Class Overview
In this class you will learn the basics of designing and sculpting a lost wax cast ring or pendant. You will create your own designs with the use of carving tools, fire and your hands! This is a great way to engage with materials Jess personally uses to make many of her pieces.
Included in the price are two designs weighing up to 1.3 grams (in wax). At the workshop you may add extra pieces to your order at the cost $70 per item plus the weight in silver. You can also add stones to your designs! These can can purchased for $35 – $40. Jess will walk you through this process (please note- no byo stones or materials required).
After the class, your designs will be cast in solid silver, sanded, polished and finished in your chosen style. This is the same treatment Jess gives all her pieces so you are essentially designing your own unique Jess Blak piece. They will be available for collection 3-4 weeks after the class date.
Bring along some inspiration of what you would like to create, this will help Jess guide you towards the best results for you from the experience.
