Introduction to Wax Carving with Rachel Morris
In this two-day, live, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn some of the most common approaches to constructing wax forms for eventual molding and casting. We’ll practice both additive and subtractive techniques (building up and carving away), with multiple projects using soft and hard wax. You’ll learn how to texture, form, join, and carve using sheet, rod, and wire wax. The class is designed to “get your feet wet” and is by no means exhaustive, but will provide a good foundation for future work. Students can design rings, buttons, and 3-D objects for pendants, pins, or other uses and will likely finish two or more projects over the course of the weekend.
