Mitsuro Wax Forming

  • Vanilla Ink Jewellery School CIC 3rd Floor, Brook Street Studios, 60 Brook Street Bridgeton Glasgow, G3 8ND (map)

Mitsuro Wax, or to give it its full name, Mitsuro Hikime, is an ancient Japanese wax making technique that creates a truly unique type of wax. This hand-made wax creates beautiful ridges and wrinkles that mimic natural form. During the course of this Taster Session, you will learn how to make Mitsuro wax from scratch and then how to work it to create some beautiful items of jewellery.

While you may not be able to take home a finished piece of jewellery that very day, don’t worry, you will have a finished piece to show for it as we will cast your piece and send it to you as soon as it is ready!

The aim of this class is to:

  • introduce you to this incredible material

  • allow you the time to experiment with it

  • give you all the resources and information you need to recreate this process

  • have FUN!
