Wax Carving for Silver Cast Jewellery.
Come join Nathan Thomas, a Berlin-based Contemporary goldsmith, in his beautiful workshop and showroom located in the Bötzowviertel Kiez of Prenzlauer Berg for a 2.5 hour small group jewellery wax carving workshop. In this hands-on class, you'll learn the traditional technique of Wax Carving for lost-wax casting, an ancient technique used to create intricate, one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces.
You'll start the class by learning about the art of lost-wax casting and the materials and tools used in the process. Nathan will then guide you through the step-by-step process of creating your own wax carving, from sculpting the initial shape to adding fine details and textures. You'll have the opportunity to work with a variety of waxes and tools, and will receive one-on-one instruction and feedback from Nathan.
You'll also have the chance to explore Nathan's workshop and showroom, where you'll see examples of his work and can learn about his own creative process. After the workshop, your finished wax carving will be taken to a local casting foundry where it will be professionally cast into Sterling Silver. This process can take up to 6 weeks but usually is far less.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some experience. No prior experience with wax carving is required. All materials and tools will be provided, and you'll be working in a small group of no more than 5 people, allowing for a personalised and intimate learning experience.
So, come and join us to explore your creativity and create a unique piece of jewellery made by yourself., supported by a professional goldsmith.
