Ring or Pendant Design in Hard Wax

Discover the art of wax carving in this focused two-day workshop with guest instructor Cheryl Jacobs. This course explores the traditional techniques of carving hard wax to create refined, detailed jewelry designs ready for casting in silver.

Students will design and carve either a ring or a pendant, learning how to shape, refine, and prepare their piece for casting. Whether your style leans toward clean lines or intricate textures, hard wax carving is a rewarding process that lets you create strong, sculptural forms.

Over two full-day (6-hour) sessions, you'll:

  • Learn about the tools and techniques used in hard wax carving.

  • Design and carve your own jewelry piece—either a ring or a pendant.

  • Explore shaping, refining edges, and adding textures or patterns to your design.

  • Prepare your wax model for casting through spruing and investing.

  • Participate in the casting process and finish your piece through filing, polishing, and detailing.

This class is perfect for beginners who want a solid introduction to wax carving as well as jewelers looking to deepen their casting skills. You'll leave with a beautifully crafted silver piece of your own design—whether a ring to wear every day or a pendant that makes a statement.

 

Please note: Stairway Studio is not a scent-free environment, however we ask that the use of scented products be limited in order to avoid triggering sensitivities in fellow students when working in close quarters.
