Wax Carved Pewter Cast Ring - Beginner - Learn at Home in Your Own Time
Description
Unleash your creativity in our hands-on pewter casting ring workshop! Perfect for beginners and creatives alike, this workshop will teach you the traditional art of casting pewter using a unique wax carving and mould-making technique. 🛠️ What You’ll Do: - Carve Your Design: Start with a wax ring blank and shape it into your own custom design under the guidance of our expert instructors. - Create a Mould: Learn how to make a detailed mould from your wax carving, preserving every little detail for casting. - Cast in Pewter: Experience the magic as molten pewter fills your mould, capturing your unique design in a durable, polished ring. - Finishing Touches: Polish and refine your ring to bring out the shine and intricacies of your craftsmanship. ✨ Whether for yourself or as a personalised gift, this on demand course is a memorable way to try something new, develop skills, and make art you can wear. The tutorials are the equivalent of a full day workshop (including making time) and will enable you to feel confident enough in the process to keep going afterwards. The joy of this option is that you’ll also have the kit too! All courses, workshops and kits come with free support afterwards. I love to see what my students and fellow crafters are up to and really enjoy answering questions or helping if I can. So any booking isn’t just for the day it’s the start of a crafting friendship! Please allow 7 - 10 days for delivery of your kit.

Maker
Rachel Ellen – Craftsperson & Tutor Trained as a graphic designer, I spent 15 years teaching Art & Design and Design Technology, sharing my love of creativity with students of all ages. Craft has always been my passion, not just for the joy it brings but for the skills, confidence, and sense of accomplishment it fosters. Now based in the beautiful Shropshire hills, I feel privileged to welcome crafters from across the UK and beyond to my studio—and now online—to explore traditional and contemporary craft techniques. My teaching is all about supporting each person’s creative journey in a way that works for them, focusing on skill development, sustainability, and making long-lasting pieces. Thoughtful material choices and minimising waste are at the heart of my practice, ensuring that craft remains both joyful and responsible for generations to come.
