Francesca will guide you through the whole process of making, hence, no previous experience in jewellery making is needed.
You will start by using wax to create the template of what will be your final jewellery piece. You will learn how to work and manipulate wax to make a pendant or a ring of your chosen size. You will discover and play with different carving techniques in order to make a beautiful texture for your jewellery piece.
Once the template is done, you will create the mould for your jewellery piece using delft sand. After that, you will prepare your metal alloy, melt it and pour it into the mould. At this point, you have made your jewellery piece, but it still needs to be cleaned and refined! That means that you still have to file and sand until you achieve the desired finish.
Once you've decided on your favourite finish, Francesca will make the ring ready for you to pick up at What If Studio. The date and time for pick up will be decided with Francesca during the course.
