Safety
Creating safely.
Making jewellery is rewarding and a lot of fun, but it involves heat and sharp tools. Please read this before you begin.
By using your kit, you agree to follow all safety instructions and accept full responsibility for its safe use.
Five things to know
Have a good time, not an injury.
1
Supervision required for minors.
Anyone under 18 must be closely supervised by an adult. The kit can be a great creative activity for younger makers, but all tool use and heating must be done by a competent adult.
Even with supervision
Minors should never handle the jewel blade or other sharp tools, or use any heat-based techniques.
2
Cut away from yourself (and anything you care about).
The jewel blade is razor sharp and can slip unexpectedly.
Always carve or cut away from your body and hands, and keep your fingers, and anything else you don’t want to cut, clear of the cutting path.
3
Molten wax can easily burn you.
Hot wax can cause serious burns if handled carelessly. Don’t touch, stir or pour wax while it’s still liquid, and avoid splashing, dripping or handling wax that hasn’t almost completely resolidified.
Competent adults can take fingerprint impressions, but only once the wax has cooled almost completely and formed a soft surface.
Never
Never take impressions of minors or pets in hot wax. Use Heirloom wax instead — it’s formable without heat.
4
Flames and sharp tools are optional.
You can make beautiful pieces with sandpaper and shaping tools alone. The jewel blade and open flame aren’t required for great results.
5
Your responsibility.
Use common sense and caution. Be careful, take your time, and create safely.
