Learn the history and process of the ancient technique of Lost Wax Casting! Gain knowledge of basic designing and wax sculpting skills as you make your own pair of earrings out of soft pliable wax. The wax behaves like clay and gets softer the warmer it gets. Express your creativity with hoop earrings (up to 2" in diameter) or textured studs! Find inspiration for your earrings, sketch out your design, and learn the carving tools. Tools we'll work with include, but aren't limited to, the x-acto knife, sandpaper, dental tool and flame. Instructor Victoria Fiorini will cast your earrings in sterling silver, polish them, put posts on them and mail you back the finished earrings. Materials Kit required ($85). Please add to your cart when registering.
