The sky is the limit in this class: bring your design ideas to learn how to create sculptural wax carvings that can be cast into one-of-a-kind jewelry. 

Carving wax is a great way to experiment with an affordable material to make a wide range of beautiful and exciting jewelry shapes. The shapes are completely unique and difficult to make using metal wire and sheet. The process allows for a wide range of artistic styles from minimalism to extremely intricate.

The beauty of learning this skill is that as long as your have a flexshaft or Dremel, you can do these carvings at home!  At the end of class, you will have the option to arrange to have your wax carvings cast by instructor Cheyenne Hughes for an additional charge.  

Students will learn:

  • Fundamentals of designing in wax
  • How to use different flex shaft attachments for wax carving
  • Finishing and refining techniques that reduces cleanup after casting
