About the class
Discover the ancient art of lost wax casting and transform your designs into sculptural jewellery pieces.
In this hands-on course you’ll learn how to carve and shape wax models, then cast your creations in metal using the investment casting process. Work with new or recycled metal and develop techniques to refine your pieces into unique wearable treasures.
What to bring
- Apron
- Design ideas or inspiration for your pieces
- Old gold, silver, or other metals for melting (This is optional and will be discussed in the first class).
Students must wear closed-toe shoes, appropriate clothing, and tie up long hair.
