This three day course will introduce a series of different ways of using wax to create jewellery items. Wax carving is a traditional jewellery technique, used to create master models that are then used in the Lost Wax casting process to cast into metal, for one off pieces or for mass production. The first two days will be used to create one or more carved ring or pendant shapes, that will then be taken to cast up before the last week, so that we can also cover cleaning up, refining and polishing the finished cast metal. Students will work through set projects, designed to introduce these skills and allow time to practice and experiment with these key techniques - although these are set projects there will be flexibility to ensure students' own design ideas can be used.
