Beginner-friendly - no previous experience required. 

In this two-part class, you'll create a one-of-a-kind cast band ring from start to finish. In Session 1, you'll learn how to measure, carve and prepare your wax model for casting.  Session 2 (scheduled 3 weeks later), will focus on finishing your casting after they return from the casting company, including clean up, polishing, and adding any final touches.

Small class (max 4 students), hands-on instruction, all consumables & taxes are included. Up to 10g of silver is included to complete your project, additional silver required for heavier designs or multiple pieces is $5/g. I can help you estimate the weight of your model before casting so you know the final cost. Sterling silver or gold* are available. (*If you'd like to cast in gold, you're welcome to let me know ahead of time and I can provide a rough estimate for material costs - final pricing is based on weight & current gold prices, which fluctuate daily)

Date & Time for Next Class: Session 1: Saturday, August 30; Session 2: Saturday, September 20th 1:00-5:00. Includes 3 hours of guided instruction, plus one optional hour of open studio time in each session for finishing or experimenting. If castings are back sooner & everyone's schedules allow, session 2 may be held earlier.

Location: 213 John St. in Pontypool, ON. You are welcome to park in the driveway, but please note it may be blocked in by other attendees. Street parking is also available. The studio is located at the back of the property behind the house - follow the driveway up to the grey building with double doors; there will be signs.

Group Booking & Discount: Bring 3-4 friends and enjoy $20 off per person! Semi-private groups may have additional students join; fully private classes can also be scheduled on alternate dates (subject to availability). Max 4 students per class.

Care information

To keep your jewellery looking it’s best:

*Avoid direct contact with perfume, body lotion, hair spray or other chemicals - allow perfume or lotion to dry before wearing.

*Never expose jewellery to household cleaning products.

*Remove your jewellery before bathing, showering, swimming or entering a hot tub.

*Remove before sleeping.

*Remove jewellery when participating in physical activities (cleaning/gardening/sports)

*Gently wipe off excess oils or perspiration with a soft cloth.

*Store in a tightly sealed plastic bag (ziploc) or box to minimize tarnish.

How to remove tarnish:

*Light tarnish may be removed with a gentle wipe with a polishing cloth, followed by washing using a toothbrush with dish detergent & water. Rinse well & pat dry.

*Heavier tarnish (on jewellery without gemstones) may be removed with a dip cleaner & thoroughly washed using a toothbrush with dish soap & water. Rinse well & pat dry.

*Never expose pearls or porous gemstones to dips or other chemical cleaners.

Made to Order!

As an independant maker, it's hard to keep every piece (in all sizes & colour variations) in stock at all times.
In the case that an item is not in stock, I am happy to make one to your specifications just for you!

Please contact me to let me know which piece you would like, as well as the size / colour variation, or any other requests you may have. I'll let you know the lead time you can expect (this can vary depending on my current projects) and get to the bench ASAP!
