Ring Fling

Upon your arrival, we will discuss your ring size and design preferences. Ideally, you should have some ideas in mind for what you wish to create. We will introduce you to the available tools and demonstrate how to use them.

You will receive a box of practice wax to experiment with, allowing you to discover how the tools work while we prepare and size your wax ring for you. Once you're ready, you’ll begin carving your ring, with our team closely monitoring and assisting you to ensure you create an amazing piece and enjoy the process.

About halfway through, you may need a break for your eyes and fingers, so we’ll offer you tea or coffee with a biscuit. During this time, we will show you a video detailing the ring casting process, so you can see how your rings will magically transform from wax into silver or gold, depending on your metal choice.

When you finish, you’ll leave your rings with us. If necessary, we will tidy them up slightly before sending them off for casting. Upon their return, we will sand and polish your rings according to your instructions and can even set stones or resin in them. You can expect to receive your rings back within one to two weeks.

Additionally, we will take some photos during the evening for you to download. If you prefer not to be included in these shots, just let us know, and we’ll ensure you’re not featured in any images.

In general most people are able to finish their rings in 3 hours. After that we either opt to give you a little bit of extra time or offer to finish it for you.

The answer is both yes and no. Your only constraints are your imagination, abilities, and a three-hour time limit. However, we've discovered that 'Ring Flingers' who kept their designs relatively simple enjoyed the most fun during the event. In our 'Ring Fling' gallery, you'll notice that most of the rings are quite basic. Many participants have returned for a second workshop to craft something more intricate once they felt more comfortable with wax carving. You'll also receive a $15 discount on materials for your second workshop.

We will discuss your design with you before you start and if your design seems over-complicated we will discuss a more pratical design with you and will of course help you where possible during the workshop. So far, everyone has created a ring that they love to wear.

If you make that clear before you start, we can help you design a ring that fits your budget and can also weigh the ring while you work on it to make sure it is within your scope.

Absolutely! We will inform you on the night about the weight of your ring and the associated cost, ensuring you are aware of the price before we proceed with casting your ring.

Unfortunately, that's not an option. We send your wax carvings to acasting company, and multiple items are cast simultaneously. Therefore, it's not feasible to recycle your old metals for your new ring.

Absolutely, we can do this part for you after the ring is cast. We will discuss beforehand to determine the placement of your gemstones. We can provide guidance on what we need from your design to accommodate the stones effectively.

Sorry, no. While we would love to pursue this opportunity in the future, it is not feasible at this moment.

Sure, we have had a few couples creating their rings during our 'Ring Fling' workshops. Alternatively have a look at our 'Couples Create' workshops.
