Service Description
Kit Cost: This is still being worked out but expect around $50-$60 Discover the art and alchemy behind fine jewelry casting in this hands-on introductory class. Basic Wax Carving & Introduction to the Lost Wax Process is designed for beginners and curious makers who want to understand how a simple wax form becomes a finished piece in gold or silver. You’ll learn essential wax carving techniques, including how to shape, refine, and finish wax models specifically prepared for metal casting. Throughout the class, we’ll explore the complete lost wax casting process, from carving to finished metal, so you gain a clear understanding of each step. While you won’t create the plaster mold or perform the casting during this session, we will thoroughly discuss mold creation, burnout, and casting methods so you leave with a strong conceptual foundation. By the end of the class, you’ll have a completed wax carving and the confidence to move forward with casting. For students who wish to have their wax piece professionally cast after class, a special discounted casting option will be available. Perfect for aspiring jewelers, metalsmiths, and anyone interested in transforming ideas into wearable art.
