A 4 hour, intimate workshop where you’ll carve your own ring, exploring the ancient, tactile lost wax process of jewellery making.
Total cost is R2450 (you pay 50% now to reserve your spot).
There’s something deeply satisfying about shaping a piece with your hands. Slowly refining it, carving into it and watching it take form.
In this workshop, you’ll be guided through every step of the process of carving your own ring in jeweller’s wax.
You’ll learn how to:
- size and shape your ring
- carve and refine the form to honour your design
- add texture and detail
Once you've completed your creation, your ring will be professionally cast into the metal of your choosing, finished by me and ready to wear. Each piece is completely unique, a reflection of your creative process. And there’s nothing quite like putting on a piece of jewellery YOU made - it's magic!
What's included
- All materials and tools
- 4 hours of guidance through the process
- Casting in your choice of metal: silver, brass or bronze (up to 8g)

I make jewellery, art, and run workshops because I believe we should not lose touch with how to make things with our hands, how to sit with raw materials that hold physical weight, forging them into a version of our own truth, filled with our own energy and soul. I also believe that every person on this planet is creative in some way. I’m here to help you connect with your creativity and craftsmanship.

The class was perfectly sized so that each of us had adequate attention . The process was very well demonstrated with Emma instilling confidence that made one feel that anything is possible. The process of making a ring was an eye opener and gave me a new sense of awe for jewelers . The creative process was addictive and I cannot wait to join another class to step into the zone . It’s meditative ! Thanks Em !
The whole experience of Ember Studios ring carving workshop was awesome. Emma is an amazing teacher, patient and super attentive.
Coming in with no experience at all, I felt somewhat intimidated to start, but the vibe was so relaxed and captivating that I very shortly found myself completely immersed.
The idea of creating something with your own hands, that will last a life time and that you can carry with you always, is in incredible - the ring I made has some deep sentimental meaning to me. From design advice to hands-on guidance, Emma made it possible!
Emma is just fabulous! Love her energy, super laid back. The workshop was a great relaxed way to spend a Saturday and allowed the creative juices to flow. I loved learning how pieces are made, and Emma assisted perfectly with bringing my imagination to life. Would highly recommend!!
