Do you have a jewelry design you’ve always wanted to create but didn‘t know how to do it? Achieve it in this introduction to traditional and modern wax carving techniques for all levels. Explore and experiment with various waxes and their properties. Through demonstrations, observe how to carve sculptural forms for jewelry pieces such as earrings or bracelet links, and small sculptures for belt buckles or paperweights. Wax allows you the freedom to carve beautiful detailed pieces that could never be fabricated in metal. Create your own original wax model to be cast in gold, sterling silver or brass by a commercial caster in NYC. Learn how to finish your castings in class. Come to class with a design or idea to start.
