Description

Lost Wax Studio is a collaborative effort to create a studio/community/gallery around making/metals/wearable objects founded by three designers/makers. The concept for the store originated with Tam Tran as a culmination of her experience in the apparel and jewelry industry, together with Yuval Alexander, they have created a wonderful unique interactive space. Instead of a static and traditional retail experience, Lost Wax is an experiential space filled with beautiful hand fabricated jewelry from small independent designers, inspiring found raw materials, and offers workshop to help you create your own wearable piece. The workshops are also an amazing new way for friends to be together and share a unique creative experience.

The term lost wax applies to both the techniques used in textile printing (also known as resist wax used in batik prints and Dutch wax prints) and for metals (a casting process since ancient times) both of which are Tam's main passions.

Tam Tran has over fifteen years experience as designer/design director in the apparel industry (Avirex/PVH/Tommy Hilfiger) and has been working as a jewelry designer/metalsmith for the past 7 years. Her work has appeared in various films and is available in fine specialty boutiques nationwide. Starting Lost Wax Studio fulfills her dream of creating an interactive space with beautiful raw materials, sharing knowledge and showing the work of other small independent designers. S

    Excellent class!
  • Cool Knotting + Stringing Necklace

    Reviewed by K B on 5/5/2014
    This was a great short class - it was well organized, the instructor was very helpful, the materials were good, etc. The only thing I was disappointed by was that my necklace broke when I took it out of my bag at home so I never got to wear it :( However, when I went back and told them what happened, they were very helpful in telling me what I could do and what materials I could purchase to re-make the necklace.
  • Making Wire + Gemstone Rings

    Reviewed by Tina on 4/8/2014
    The ladies who work there are lovely and very good at explaining the process. I never felt rushed to leave even when the time was up and I got to walk away with a couple of beautiful pieces that I made.
  • Making Stack Rings - Intro to Working with Metals

    Reviewed by Dina on 3/2/2014
    The course was very enjoyable and in a nice facility. Tam and her staff were very informative and helpful throughout the session. You get to make a lot of rings - more than you can even stack on a single finger. It's a great intro course to jewelry making. I plan on taking more classes from them in the future.
