Aimed at all abilities this course will give you a solid base of knowledge about working in wax to be able to continue creating designs in wax in your own time. We will cover all you need to get started including wax types, tools, techniques and how to work with a casting house. You will be carving out a wax ring on the day that may be used to cast with if desired.
During the course of the day you will learn about different types of wax and considerations for choosing type used, tools needed for manufacture and considerations for design success. We will discuss spruing your own work too. You will carve out a wax ring using wax tools and prepare your wax for being sent out for casting.
Casting and casting services are not included in the cost of the course because the pricing can vary signifigantly depending on design, weight and material. You will get lots of information about how to work with a casting company along with suggestions on how & who to choose to work with.
