Join us for a full day, intermediate masterclass in creative wax and explore a variety of wax techniques in this skill building workshop, including Japanese Mitsuro-Hikime and found object collage.Mitsuro-Hikime:
In the morning we’ll introduce you to Japanese Mitsuro-Hikime wax. The name of this tactile substance translates from Japanese as honey wax, and drawn texture. If you gently warm it by hand Mitsuro wax becomes pliable like toffee and can be stretched and manipulated, creating enticing ripples and striations. When cast in silver your Mitsuro jewellery will take on the appearance of fluidity and softness otherwise difficult to achieve in silver.
Wax collage and mould making:
In the afternoon we’ll create small scale collages using found and natural objects and layered textures. We’ll learn how to make moulds from your low-relief compositions, and cast multiple wax masters, ready to be sent off and cast in silver. Casting from moulds is a great way to efficiently and accurately create multiples without having to replicate each component by hand.
