Wax carving is a fantastic skill to learn if you'd like to make more adventurous pieces in metal. It lends itself well to organic or geometric designs.
The process of wax carving jewellery starts with the wax piece being made. This is taken to a caster where a mould is made, melting the wax and pouring molten silver or gold in to make a solid silver version of your wax mould.
Please note, this is a one day class so the process of carving will be taught and your tutor will explain the casting process. A casting company will be recommended but there won't be time to cover this in the class.
You will learn:
- Basic designing for wax carving
- Qualities and properties of different forms of wax
- Using wax carving tools to achieve your designs
- Making finished wax carved masters ready to cast
- Full information on how and where to get your wax pieces cast locally and affordably and much more...
Throughout the day most students will be guided to make a ring and a pendant or charm in wax.
