Our group classes are designed as an introduction to the wax carving process. Forming wedding bands, (particularly a flush fit with an engagement ring) requires more time and attention to detail. If you would like to make your own wedding bands, please get in touch to discuss the possibility of booking a private 2:1 class with jeweller Steph Bennett. Private booking fees applicable.
