This workshop is for all levels of jewelers and metalsmiths. Participants will become familiar with the properties of sculpture, carving and wire waxes. They can create a small sculpture, ring, pendant or earrings using an additive or reductive process or a combination of both! Works will be centrifugally cast in sterling silver. Stones may be included in the design. Students will be encouraged to explore the properties of the wax to create an artistically expressive piece of jewelry. If participants own their own wax carving tools they are encouraged to bring them.
