Wax After Casting: Clean-up and Finishing Day

If you have loved attending any of our wax courses you will have learnt how to create stunning jewellery in wax. But what do you do after the pieces come back from the casters? 

This one day course is open to anyone who has completed a wax course with us or elsewhere and would like to learn about how to clean up their castings and complete their projects including setting stones in some cases. 

We recommend booking this course once you have your castings returned to you from a casting company. You will need to bring your castings with you as that is what we will be using to work on in the day. 

In this class you will learn to: 

- Remove sprues and cut off any excess metal from your castings

- Address any blemishes or pot holes in your casting 

- Polishing and finish your pieces

- Set any stones that you have created settings for. Cabochon, claw or flush settings. 

- Learn plenty of tips and tricks to help you clean up your castings on your own at home after the courses. 

What you need to bring to this class: 

For this class, you will need to bring your castings. Depending on the project, most students can clean up 2 castings in the day.
