Introduction to Wax Design: Melting Forms & Jewelry Prototyping

This 3-hour introductory workshop invites you into the earliest stage of jewelry creation: wax design and form exploration.

Guided by REBE77E’s creative approach, you will learn how wax changes across different temperatures, how to control melting and shaping techniques, and how professional tools are used to translate ideas into physical forms. The session emphasizes process, experimentation, and understanding materials, rather than finishing a silver piece.

You’ll design and carve your own wax ring while gaining hands-on experience with wax carving tools, heat techniques, and shaping methods commonly used in professional jewelry studios.

No prior experience is required.
