SUMMARY:Make a Silver Ring
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to make your own jewellery?\nRing\, pendant or others\, this Make a Silver Ring workshop is the perfect introduction to designing and making your very custom pieces! \nIn the Make a Silver Ring workshop we will be using the ancient Lost Wax method. \n\nIn the first session:\nWe will use jewellers wax and carve a wax model of the piece you want to make. Our experienced tutor Macarena Bernal will show you how to do that step by step\, so fear not if you are an absolute beginner\, you will be well guided! This workshop caters for all levels.  Once you’ve crafted your piece of jewellery in wax\, it will be cast in either white bronze or silver – whichever you choose!\nThe wax model you made will be used to create a plaster mould in which molten silver or bronze will be poured into (our tutor will do this tricky bit in between your two sessions)\nIn the second session:\nYour casting will be back\, at that stage you will be finishing youe piece.  Filing\, carving and cleaning it up to make it look just like you dreamed it!\n\n  \nWhat to Bring to the Make a Silver Ring Workshop:\nWe provide all materials and tools and organise the casting for you at your own cost.\nCasting prices will vary depending on size\, weight\, and metal of choice. As a guide\, a 3.5g wax ring can cost $15 in silver and $8 in white bronze approximately. \n\nWhat students say about the Make a Silver Ring workshop:\n\nJacqueline M. (March. 2023)\nMaca was an amazing talented and knowledgeable tutor. Everything was explained fully and she never failed to assist if required.\nThe venue was comfortable\, well lit and fully kitted with all equipment required. Nice size class with not too many students making almost one on one when required. \n\nSheirley I. (Dec. 2022)\nLoved working with Maca on this lost wax process. Always wonderful to learn something new\, especially with such a vibrant and engaging tutor! \n\nSamantha W. (Dec. 2022)\nI absolutely loved the Make a Silver Ring Workshop. It was so much fun to be able to create something from scratch\, and Maca was super friendly and helpful in guiding the process to make sure we came out with brilliant finished pieces. I will definitely be back for more workshops in the future! \n\nEm G. (Dec. 2022)\nThe Make A Silver Ring (lost wax casting) course that Maca Bernal put on over 2 Saturdays was incredible. The venue was great\, having such a range of materials and tools to work with\, and with such expert tutoring\, made for an experience that exceeded my expectations.

SUMMARY:Paint Carving
DESCRIPTION:This paint carving workshop is designed to be an introduction and to try something new and creative and to enjoy. You need no artistic ability to participate in this workshop but if you have some then you can use this to your advantage with the designs and carving. \nFirst\, we’ll get started with doing some carving practice\, using lines and curvy shapes on soft cutting mats to get you familiar on a draft item. Then the fun begins where each person chooses the design\, they like best and get started on your individual piece of art. We will have many different beginner and advanced paint carving designs to choose from. \nYou will then trace your chosen design onto a pre-prepared art board (20cm round) and the carving begins. Anna will be carving alongside you all as well so you can see and enjoy all the techniques\, she uses to create her beautiful larger pieces of art. \nFor beginners\, it is generally best to start simple when learning new skills. Often simple can create the best results and outcomes you will be happy with. \nIf you have carved materials before but are new to paint carving\, then you can probably choose a more advanced design. Anna will be able to help you choose based on your ability. \n  \nWHAT TO BRING?\nThere is nothing that you need to bring to this workshop.\nThe fee for the workshop includes all materials necessary to make a 20cm round paint carving\, so there’s no need to bring anything. \n  \nABOUT YOUR TUTOR:\nAnna says the paint carving process is so therapeutic. 30 layers of Resene Lumbersider paint is applied to a wooden canvas (or oar/paddle) in Anna’s case and then she begins to carve. It’s a true labour of love for sure. Anna designs each piece of art carefully\, using her background in Graphic Design to compose balanced arrangements. For her\, these are predominantly flowers and native birds\, however she has completed a few ocean themed works as well. \nAnna Tang is a practicing artist/tutor who exhibits and sells her artworks. To enquire about artworks for sale\, contact Anna. \n  \nWHAT PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:\nAbbie R. (March 2023\nJust attended the paint carving afternoon at Uxbridge. Great fun. The carving was easier than I thought. Everyone produced something beautiful\, each different from each other. The tutor was great – showing examples\, giving us advice ad making sure we had everything we needed. \nNicola R. (March 2023)\nSuch a fantastic location for a creative workshop – I loved the Paint Carving workshop I attended over the weekend. Anna was a fantastic tutor\, the space is really inspiring and I can’t wait to be back for another workshop soon. \n  \nPlease note there is NO refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 7 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started.
