Day & Time: Friday, 5:30-7:30pm
Dates: January 15, 2021

Materials Fee: See class description.
Note: Students who register for two or more Lost Wax workshops and purchase materials kits will receive $10 off their total Materials Kit Fee. Please use the code LOSTWAX10 at check-out.
In this class you'll make two rings which can be fit together to make a whole or are somehow related to one another in their design. Both can be for you or the second can be given to your Valentine as the perfect gift!
Learn the history and process of the ancient technique of Lost Wax Casting! Gain knowledge of basic designing and wax carving skills as we carve our rings. Instructor Victoria Fiorini will teach you how to carve and melt wax together to form the rings. It's up to you if you choose an interlocking design, two halves of a whole, or some other uniting design. The wax and carving tools will be conveniently mailed to your home for class. When you're done carving, you simply mail your rings back for finishing! Your finished rings will then be cast in your choice of sterling silver or bronze by instructor Victoria Fiorini, polished and mailed back to you. Please find your ring size using a piece of paper or string and ruler (see sizing chart below). Materials Kit required ($95). Please add to your cart when registering.

Kits must be purchased at least one week in advance to be received by the workshop date. Students who make their materials purchase less than one week prior to class may still participate in the live workshop and will also receive a course recording via email which they may use to follow along upon receipt of their materials kit (not guaranteed by class date). Students will receive their materials kit sent directly from the instructor to the mailing address provided at registration. Please ensure accuracy when entering your address. Additional "nice to have" though not required, materials include a ruler, any stainless steel clay or ceramic sculpting tools, and/or drawing compass.

You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
