WAX TO SILVER - Ring Carving Workshop

This workshop is for anyone who has ever wanted to create their own jewelry!

It takes place at Somewhere Blue studio, a calm, immersive space that invites focus and creativity,  in the heart of Athens.

The workshop is designed for beginners and requires no previous experience. I will guide you through the process of carving your own ring in wax using the lost wax casting technique. We will begin by measuring your ring size to ensure a comfortable fit.

You will then learn how to use carving tools and heat to shape the wax, allowing you to carve, melt, add, or remove material as you develop your design.

I will be there throughout the process to assist you and answer any questions.

You will work with two types of wax. A softer wax that can be carved and shaped by hand, and a firmer blue & green wax that is applied using heat, allowing you to build and layer form. Each material offers a different way to approach your design.

Once your wax ring is complete, I’ll take care of the rest. Your design will be cast in 925 Sterling Silver at our local foundry and I will handle all the finishing touches — cleaning, filing, sanding, hallmarking, and polishing.
Your finished ring will be ready to pick up or ship within 2 to 3 weeks — transformed from wax into silver, and made to last.

With a deeper connection to the material, the process, and your own creative language, Eleni invites you to come as you are, to slow down, to work with your hands. 
To create a piece that carries your presence. A ring to wear, to keep, or to offer to someone you love.
