Wax Carving :: Learn  jewelry making with an introduction to wax carving with Rebecca Peacock. During this class you will carve wax into either rings, pendant or an oject. For an additional price, participants will have a choice to cast their pieces into sterling silver, 14k gold or brass. Rebecca will finish your pieces and send them to you. Your wax creations will be weighed at the end of class to give you a price in final metal.

Class sizes are kept very small (3 people max ) due to shop size restrictions. Small class size also means that participants will get plenty of one on one attention. Tools provided.

You will leave this class with the basic knowlegde and skills to make your own jewelry using the wax casting process.

What is Wax Carving?

A ancient way of making jewelry. We will begin with a piece of wax that you will file, saw, and carve down to the desired design. Your finished piece will be sent to the caster in a choice of metals.

Wax carving is a great way to begin jewelry making or even add to your metal smithing repetore - adding more organic shapes to traditional sheet metal and wire.
