Soft Wax Workshop
Would you like to make “instant” jewelry? Then the incredibly
user friendly soft wax is for you. These workshops start with an introduction
to soft sculpting wax in it’s various forms, where students create
a pendant using simple tools and techniques. We continue the day exploring
more complex applications:
Soft Wax A includes creating a setting for
a faceted stone.
Soft Wax B includes creating a setting for
a cabochon stone.
The class fee includes having your pieces cast into sterling silver and having
one stone set for you. (Alternatively, students may choose to learn to set the
stone themselves in a three hour tutoring session.)
A two hour version of this class is available for
those looking to just "get their feet wet" in these techniques.
The short class features an intro to the materials and the creation
of a simple pendant design, which will be cast into sterling silver.
Charms
This fun evening workshop uses wax techniques to create a variety of small charms, limited only by your imagination. Use these to start a line, create a special gift, or jazz up your beaded designs. The class fee includes casting 4 of your designs in sterling silver.
