WORKSHOP
Ring Making Workshop with Heka Jewellery
Join Jo from HEKA Jewellery to handcraft your own one of a kind ring.
The workshop is designed for beginners, all tools, inspiration and guidance provided. Originally trained at Birmingham School of Jewellery, Jo will share over 12 years of skills and knowledge from the jewellery industry. You will learn ancient wax carving techniques to carve and sculpt your own unique design in wax! You'll also learn about jewellery production techniques since ancient times, and craft something completely unique to you with your own hands. Magic!
Your workshop ticket includes one piece to be cast into bronze and hand finished by Jo after the workshop. Students comment that the session is relaxing and mindful, a chance to switch off from the world and work with your hands.
Silver and gold are also available as metal options, the extra cost of these will be calculated by the weight of your piece on the day
18ct Gold plating can be added, gemstones can be set and engraving is possible too, cost is discussed during the workshop itself.
Casting/finishing plus silver weight charges are payable at the end of the workshop, your finished piece can be collected from Jo's Worcester studio or posted to you usually within 3 weeks
