Beginners Wax Carving

Learn the art of wax carving in this comprehensive online course taking you through all the basics of creating rings, pendants and charms in wax.

Have you ever wanted to work in wax?

Maybe you have given it a try but aren't quite happy with the results?

Or perhaps you are looking to speed up the production process in your jewellery business?

If so then beginners wax carving is the course for you!

You will learn to saw, file, refine and create your own unique designs in wax. Once they have been created you can take them to your local casters to be cast into silver, gold, rose-gold or other metals. This is a great technique for anyone looking to develop their skills and run a jewellery business. It is perfect for mini-production runs as by creating just one piece in wax you can order many items to be cast.

This class starts from the beginning and covers everything you need to set up in creating your own collections in wax from home. There are relatively few tools and materials needed to work with wax and the results are truly amazing.
