Traditional to Contemporary Wax Carving and Wax Modelling
5 Week Course - Thursdays
26 April 2018 - 24 May 2018
About the Course
The course is designed to explore working with different traditional carving and modelling waxes, that are used for jewellery making. If you are starting out on wax carving, you will get a set of projects, such as carve a simple ring and a pendant or brooch. If you are a returning learner, you will be guided to work on your individual projects and pieces. You will also be shown how to integrate gems into your designs and how to carve stone seats for different shaped stones.
You will be encouraged to experiment with other castable materials such as Polymorph, plastics and bees wax and you will learn how to cast wax into silicone moulds to duplicate designs.
Once wax masters are prepared, they are sent off to a casting company to cast in any metal of your choice. Towards the end of the course you will be taught different finishing techniques like filing, sanding, filling pores, polishing and oxidising.
Who is it for?
Mixed level, from beginners to intermediate and advanced students who want to broaden their skills.
Who will teach the course?
This course will be led by Katrin Spranger.
