Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this wax carving class:

This is a class where you learn about jewelry production using wax such as candle wax. You can create shapes by cutting or carving. Because the wax will be cast into metal, we recommend students to take the beginner's course beforehand; however, it is not required.

It is more suitable to make your work three-dimensional when using wax.

The following materials are provided:
  • metal sheets of brass
  • copper
  • and nickel silver 
  • wires
  • wax
  • thread
  • tip of a silver solder for welding
  • fluex
  • silicon
  • wire brushes
Important Things to Note:
  • If you want to use more expensive material such as gold and silver, you may purchase those in the classroom for extra. 
  • If students want to use stones, there are some stones to sell for students but there are another stone dealers we can refer as well.
  • If you would like to bring your own stone to use, you may bring it and work with the instructor together to create the piece you want.

I would love to sign up for this! There is one weekend I will have to miss a class, would it be possible to make it up during a weekday time?

Hi Rachael! Yes, you can make up a class if you miss the class but to makeup, the student requires to notice before 72 hours of the class. After 72 hours notice, the student loses the class credit. Hope this helps!

Question from Anonymous
Hi, do students get the chance to cast or the casting is outsourced?
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The school doesn't have a casting facility so they ask the casting company to do. They usually send all cast to the casting company since most of the students are busy and don't have the chance to go to the diamond district during weekdays: but if you want to bring it by yourself, you can.
