Fabbrica x blonde. Organic Ring Making Class and Set Menu Experience

In collaboration with Fabbrica Darlinghurst, we're hosting the DREAM date - combining a blonde. organic ring making class followed by a special set menu from the Fabbrica team. One-day-only, Saturday 27th of June.

Start upstairs at Fabbrica for a hands-on organic ring making class where you'll create your very own organic ring — no experience required. Design and make your very own handmade organic ring. Add gemstones (optional) custom textures, engravings and fingerprint impressions - then have your creation cast in a precious metal of your choice (and returned to your 6 weeks later). Please note casting costs are not included in the ticket - read our pay-by-weight system below. Then head downstairs to Fabbrica’s communal dining table for a set menu of their best-loved plates and shapes, along with a few exclusives just for you and your class.

What to Expect:

1. Learn the Techniques: Our teaching team will guide you through the fundamentals of lost-wax casting. Learn how to include gems or other features in your piece - then it's over to you!
2. Time to Create: Personalise your ring however you like. Add textures, fingerprint impressions, engravings and gemstones (optional extra). You decide the size, look and shape of your piece. 
3. Weigh and Pay: At the end of class, weigh your final ring and select a precious metal to cast it in - with the peace of mind you'll only pay for what you use. Because you have creative control over the size, weight and precious metal you choose, the cost of casting your ring is up to you. Options for all budgets are available. Most cost $50-150 depending on your selections.
   
4. We Take Care of the Rest: Leave your wax rings with us and our local team of jewellers will cast and polish the piece to your instructions. Similar to ceramics, the casting, clean up and finishing process with lost-wax casting takes 4-5 weeks to complete. Once finished, we’ll ship your ring directly to your door with tracking provided.
5. Your class is followed by a set menu featuring Fabbrica’s greatest hits, as well as a few collaborative blonde. dishes, exclusive to the class

Each Ticket Includes:

• 2 hours of expert, hands-on guidance from experienced jewellers

• Please note: gemstones are provided on the day as an optional extra but not included in the ticket price ($15-35 extra). Due to the nature of the cast-in-place it is not possible to bring and use your own gemstones in class.
• Please note: the precious metal required to cast your ring is not included. Participants will choose their own desired precious metal and pay for this (by weight) on the day. Prices are clearly communicated during the class so there are no surprises. Generally, most rings range from $50–$150, but they heavily depend on your design and metal choice.
