I had a fab day making a bronze bangle! It was great fun learning how to shape the metal, and I'm really pleased with what I made. Would love to come back and make another!

Throughly enjoyed the wax carving course, Viv was very knowledgable and created a lovely environment to work at your own pace on your own project. Would recommend the class to anyone who wanted to give wax carving a go.

Excellent course, delivered by a teacher whose knowledge and enthusiasm shines through, as you learn through creating your own designs ready for casting. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am now slightly obsessed with wax carving!

Session one was a great introduction to the craft. We started with some simple exercises to develop an understanding of how the wax would behave in different scenarios before moving on to crafting something to be cast. We were a really small group which allowed for great one on one interactions with Viv the instructor. We were allowed to use the time as we wanted and to build up an understanding of techniques that were valuable to us.
I'm really looking forward to the second session to refine some of the skills from the first.

Hi Sam, thank you so much for this, we have so much more to cover but I hope by the time we finish, you will have enough information, confidence and skill to know how to create the projects you want to make!I really love working with wax, the challenges it presents show - this ancient art continues to have relevance in a modern environment!
