Wax Ring Making Overview
Marcela will teach students how to create a wax ring in the first four hour session using traditional carving and modeling techniques and professional tools such as burs, files and molten jewelers wax. Over the next few days your ring will be cast via the “lost wax” method and on the second session you will receive a solid metal cast of your ring. We will focus on bench work and learn sprue clean up, and finishing techniques. This is the perfect beginner course for someone who wants to learn the wax processes and jewelry finishing techniques!
