In-Person Jewelry Making Workshops
In these workshops, you’ll be able to learn traditional jewelry techniques while producing an astonishing wearable piece from beginning to end.
Wax Ring Carving Workshop
This 4-hour workshop is an introduction to the ancient art of wax carving. You will learn how to design, transfer your design to the wax, carve, file, and give the desired finishing to a wax ring. Later on, this ring will be cast in sterling silver to create the final jewelry piece. Wax carving is like sculpture for jewelry. It is a meditative technique that opens the possibility to infinite shapes, textures, and experimentation.

Student Testimonials
NADINE
"I joined Jose's workshop to create an additional piece of jewelry to my lovely 'no ring' from her collection. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasantly calm which my best friend and I enjoyed. Jose explained the whole process and helped everyone create their individual piece. My design was more complicated than I expected. Jose helped me patiently and with the right amount of humor. I am happy with the result and recommend this workshop to anyone who likes getting creative."

“I had a lot of fun at Jose’s wax carving workshop! The atmosphere was great and I got to know many like-minded people. After an introduction to the world of wax carving, we eventually started our own personal design. Jose took time for everyone to discuss their ideas and explained individually and step by step how to proceed to make your ring dreams come true. You will discover many different techniques to carve wax. It’s a must-try! I am more than happy with my ring, wearing it every day!”
ANDREA
“I loved Jose's workshop. I've taken jewelry classes before but had never tried wax carving. The atmosphere, group size, and workshop length were just right. Our group had a mix of experience levels as well as varying levels of difficulty in our ideas, Jose made sure each of us got the amount of support we needed to create exactly what we were hoping to. Her finishing work and communication around the whole process were perfect. I can't recommend this workshop enough.”
