Saturday February 11th 11am-6pm one hour lunch
Forget about setting your stones in castings, cast the stones in place instead! We will carve a ring from wax and you’ll learn how to carefully heat your stones to create the setting in your wax model to be cast in place. This is a fun and somewhat unpredictable technique, not meant for achieving precise results. If you love a more random, organic look, this technique is for you! Only stones that can withstand high heat can be used, like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. Don’t worry-you can also use lab created gems for your project to take the pressure off. You will leave with your wax model and stones in place, ready to be cast.
