Wax Carved Ring Workshop

We are so excited about this one day wax carving workshop in collaboration with Social Beings! This one day 5 hour workshop will take place at Social Beings (1254 S 18th st., Philadelphia, PA 19146.)

Social Beings is , "not a gym or an art studio but a third space-something between home and work-where people of all ages and backgrounds can feel at ease, explore and belong. Our mission is to make wellness and creativity feel natural, joyful and accessible."

Maureen Duffy will lead students through the process of wax carving their very own unique ring. Will you make a signet style ring? A band? Or will you make something more sculptural? At the end of the workshop, you will learn how to estimate your casting metal cost in a variety of metals at current market prices. You will then decide how you'd like your ring to be finished. Do you envision a high polish or satin finish? After casting, your rings will be finished up by team Alloy and will be picked up from our shop at Bok. We can't wait to see what you'll create!
