Jewellery Making
Welcome to our gemstone jewellery making workshop in Melbourne, where the age-old lost wax carving technique meets modern style. No experience? No problem! This class is perfect for beginners, offering the ultimate introduction to this relaxing craft.
Using the versatile medium of wax, you’ll dive into the art of setting gemstones, getting hands-on with three specially chosen stones that can endure the heat of the casting process. We’ve got a stunning rainbow of colours for you to pick from, helping your final piece is as unique as you are.
You’ll also learn the basics of lost wax carving, from casting gemstones to the final metal finish. By the end of our class, you’ll walk away with a wealth of knowledge and new skills, and after a few weeks after polishing, you'll be able to pick up your own silver necklace that’s bound to impress!
