Introduction to Wax Carving
Did you know that most of the jewelry that you see started out as a piece of wax? Lost wax casting utilizes special jeweler’s waxes to create a design, which can then be cast into any precious metal. Wax A teaches basic techniques used to pierce, shape, and hollow, and includes a “stack” ring project. Wax B introduces a layered pendant, the detailed D Blank technique for creating a ring, and continues to a Gypsy setting. Classes are completely independent and may be taken in any order. (This class does not include casting)
