Carve your own silver ring

Start with a simple piece of jeweller’s wax and finish with a silver ring designed entirely by you. In Henriette Botha’s ring-carving workshop, you’ll learn how to shape, carve and refine wax into your own wearable design. Go beautifully simple, wonderfully chunky or embrace something a little imperfect and organic — the final shape is up to you. Your finished wax creation is then professionally cast in silver, transforming your handmade design into a proper piece of jewellery you can wear for years.

BEFORE YOU GO
No jewellery-making experience is necessary, and you’ll be guided through the wax-carving process step by step. Your ring won’t be ready to take home immediately: after the workshop, the wax design needs to be cast and finished in silver before collection or delivery. Workshops take place on selected dates and spaces are limited, so advance booking is essential. Check the current workshop details for duration, silver allowances, casting costs and collection arrangements.
