Master carver, jewelry maker, and designer Cheyenne Weil will be joining The Foundry Jewelry School for a three-day wax carving workshop, February 20–22, 2027.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Cheyenne’s work combines an extraordinary attention to detail and mastery of reduction-style wax carving, a process of working from a solid block of wax and carefully removing material to develop form, pattern, and exceptionally fine detail. Her work through Gin & Butterflies speaks for itself. It’s the kind of craftsmanship so many of us aspire to, and we’re incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to host her and learn from her for three days.
Learn from Cheyenne herself as she shares both foundational and advanced techniques for creating refined, intentional wax carvings for jewelry using the reduction from a single block
February 20–22, 2027 · The Foundry Jewelry School · Ventura, California

“The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.”
