I'm extending my Wax Carving teaching to make it more accessible to people who work full time.
To start with I'm offering weekly Wednesday evening classes running 6pm to 8pm from my studio in Fishponds, Bristol, BS16.
From early September the classes will be on Thursday evenings, you can see the dates on the options buttons
These are booked 4 weeks at a time, at a cost of £120 per person for all 4 sessions.
The class size is only 3 people at a time, and so is suitable for mixed abilities. Whether you're a total beginner, or have some experience, there is plenty of scope for one-on-one tuition as I rotate around the class.
The first session will begin with an intro to the tools, materials and some of the basic techniques of wax carving for jewellery. Then you can choose to either work on a piece of your own design under my guidance, or I can lead you through a project that will require a range of some of the fundamental methods I use for wax carving.
If you'd like a spot on either of the current blocks of this, you can select them below. I'll be adding future dates to the options soon, and if this proves popular I may add extra days and times.
All of the pieces in the pictures here were made by participants in my workshops. The length of time it takes to create pieces such as these can vary, but once you've settled on a project I should be able to tell you roughly how many sessions to expect it to take.
The basic materials such as wax and sandpaper are included in the course fee, but then when it comes time to get your piece cast in your choice of metal, the cost of that is additional. I'll be able to give you a price estimate for your piece once you're part way through making it. Most pieces are within the range of around £20 to £60.
Once you've booked a place, I'll be in touch with all the info you need for the course such as location, my contact details and anything you need to bring or prepare for the course.
If you need any further info about the evening classes in the meantime, you can message me through my Contact page
