Couples’ Wedding Ring Workshop – Lost Wax Carving in Cornwall
A private, one-to-one jewellery-making experience held in my Cornwall studio, created for couples wishing to celebrate their commitment through the traditional craft of lost wax carving.
Guided personally by jewellery designer Tamara Gervasio, this experience offers the opportunity to create meaningful wedding rings together in a calm and creative studio environment.
This is a focused, hands-on workshop where you will work directly in wax using professional tools and traditional carving techniques used in fine jewellery making.
This is a creative fabrication session designed around the making of your wedding rings.
What You Will Do
Together you will explore the fundamentals of lost wax carving while shaping and refining your own wedding ring designs directly in wax.
You will create the foundation for your future rings through guided making, exploring form, texture, and surface detail while learning how wax is transformed into precious metal through the casting process.
Each ring created becomes a personal and meaningful part of your story.
