About this Event
Learn the basics of wax carving for jewelry using simple, beginner-friendly tools. In this introductory workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience cutting and shaping wax to create your own unique pendant design, which will be cast in bronze and mailed to you after the workshop.
A few of the techniques you'll explore include:
- Transferring and sketching designs onto wax
- Using basic tools to carve out form and detail
- Shaping and smoothing carving wax
- Preparing your piece for casting
This workshop focuses on accessible tools and techniques you can use at home to continue developing your skills and create more beautiful work. You will carve a design for one pendant that will be cast for you and mailed to the address you provide. You can bring ideas for small simple designs, or use a design provided. If bringing your own, sketch ideas for flat designs that are within 1 inch by 1 inch in size.
Things you could bring with you to the workshop: If you have them, please bring your prescription eyeglasses and/or safety glasses, an apron if you prefer your clothing not to get dirty.
Safety Notes: Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. Long hair should be tied back away from your face. Refrain from wearing long dangling jewelry and loose long sleeves.
