Learn to carve rings, pendants, brooches or small sculptures in wax, then use the wax model to create a finished cast piece in silver or bronze using the lost wax casting method. This 6 week class introduces multiple ways of wax-working including: additive, subtractive, filing, using hot tools and a small alcohol torch, as well as working with investment casting techniques. Several different finishing techniques will be demonstrated, as well. Enough Bronze for 1 flask is included in the workshop cost, and additional bronze and/or silver casting grain can be purchased from the instructor during class.
