Learn how to make jewellery using wax-carving techniques, in our bright and shiny jewellery making workshop in Birmingham. You will learn to make a silver pendant with your choice of deep-relief design. A wonderful and personalised pendant for you to wear home at the end of the course or to give away as a gift.

This jewellery making course can be classed as a Beginners or an Improvers course! To make the majority of your own designs into pieces of jewellery, you’ll need the extra metal-working skills from our Beginners course, but on this wax-carving course you’ll learn everything you need to make a pendant. It takes place over six consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6.00pm-8.30pm. You will start this course by moving away from metalwork, and into making from wax. First we’ll had a chat about when to use wax rather than metal for jewellery-making, and you’ll have a bit of practice and experimentation on a few bits of wax. Then we’ll talk through your designs and get you started on your final design. The next classes will be spent creating your final piece in wax, which will be taken for casting at the end of the fifth class, and on the final class we will work on the silver piece that you get back from the casters, finishing it into your shiny silver piece of jewellery. You will be provided with a printed handout in case you need a little reminder along the way, and to refer back to if you’d like to make another! Each class takes you through the next stage of the process, so please make sure you can attend all the dates.
