Wax Talisman Workshop with Musée Roo and Loren Lewis Cole

Wax Talisman Workshop with Musée Roo and Loren Lewis Cole.

Exploring Creativity through wax sculpting.

This is the first public workshop I'm running, and it couldn't be in a more fantastic environment as the Forge in Bristol.

An afternoon workshop exploring the ancient technique of lost wax casting. Suitable for complete beginners as well as designers wanting to fine tune an area of skill. Whether you'd like to work first from a sketch or directly with the materials and spontaneity, this will be an inspiring environment where you can bring your own talisman/amulet into being.  

Roo and Loren are both experienced sculptors in the lost wax casting method of jewellery making. With complementary skills and areas of fascination, we have a lot to share with you! 

£110 is the price to make one piece of jewellery in brass, £170 for two pieces. The focus of the workshop is on talismans/amulets, though you can create whatever you like. 

The workshop will include an introduction to the method and to approach building your sculpture. This method is also highly intuitive given the malleability and soft nature of the wax. Most importantly, come and play, see what happens, experiment, get things wrong, allow the surprise of being guided by the process, discover the magic waiting in your hands and heart.

This is a group workshop so we will be able to access the potency of a shared, encouraging creative and exploratory environment.

We will fill the space with inspiring objects, books, and everything we need for wax sculpture. Please feel free bring any objects or relics that have significance, inspiration or charm to you, but don't worry as we'll have a lot to inspire you.

We will cast, finish and polish your piece(s) of jewellery and send them to you within 3-4 weeks.

Option to pay for silver / gold can be discussed at the workshop.

We'll provide refreshments and hot drinks. 

I look forward to seeing you there 🖤

Sunday 19th May, 1-4PM, The Forge, Bristol, BS1 5BD
