What you'll do
Discover the ancient art of wax carving. It's like sculpture for jewellery, a method of creating forms difficult to produce in any other way. Learn about the different waxes used in the jewellery industry, the tools used to work it, and the 6500-year-old technique of lost wax casting.
What will I make?
You will make a wax carving of your own unique piece of jewellery.
What will happen on the day?
- Upon arrival, you will have the chance to get to know your fellow makers. Then you will have the chance to find inspiration from the wide range of example jewellery and the fascinating history of wax carving.
- Your tutor will then demonstrate carving and guide you, step by step, through the process of carving and embellishing your own piece.
- Select from a choice of projects designed to enable the novice to gain experience and competence. You will create your own unique variation of the projects. During the class, you will learn how to transfer the design to wax and carve it from jeweller's wax under expert guidance from one of the best wax carvers in the industry.
Who is my instructor?
The class is taught by Russell Lownsbrough FIPG, author of "Waxcarving for Jewellery, " Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council member, award-winning master craftsman, and highly experienced jewellery tutor.
