Description

This immersive 2-day boot camp gives you all the skills to get started with wax casting. You will be able to make multiple designs in wax or use organic material for your casting!

DAY ONE: The first hour of class you will learn various wax carving and manipulation techniques. Then Patricia, our instructor, works individually with each student to get them started based on their skill level. Beginners will learn how to form the wax for their piece. By the end of day one, the wax piece will be invested (a sacrificial mold will be made of the wax design). If you finish investing your piece before 8pm, you can leave early, of course.

DAY TWO: The mold will be ready for the casting process. The piece will be cast and the rest of this class session will be used for finishing and polishing.

All materials, equipment and tools (including a Flax-shaft) are provided in the classroom, as well as 1oz. of sterling silver for beginner students.

Additional silver will be available for purchase at cost for project require more than the provided 1 oz. of included sterling silver.

This is a perfect intro to metal crafting without going into metalsmithing, if you're just exploring. Two days is enough especially for us from out of town, we were able to squeeze in our tight schedule. The studio has a wide range of tools to play with and the instructor doesn't gatekeep his experience.

Scott is very knowledgeable in the art of jewelry making and shares his expertise. I took the two day boot camp on wax casting and I learned alot. The class is good for both beginners in wax casting and for anyone wanting to be hands on in the casting process.
