Description
In this one-day workshop, learn to make a custom signet ring using the ancient lost-wax casting method. You’ll learn about the history of signet rings and emblems, then design your own. By hand-carving wax, you will shape your own ring design and learn to transfer a design onto wax before engraving the design or emblem on the ring’s face. Using the lost-wax casting method, a mold will be made of the wax rings in plaster. These wax rings will be sent out for casting and finished rings will be available for pick up about three weeks after the workshop. You will gain basic wax-carving and engraving skills as well as an understanding of the lost-wax casting method.
