Wax Carving

Post by Mia Ouzas, Crimson 2

Wax in progress

Presentations are complete and last terms' project is in. This term is flying by.
Stage 2 jewellery and object design students have been busy learning how to cut, file and shape carving wax into rings and small scaled objects.

This requires a lot of patience and concentration because wax is a completely different material to metal. The wax will then be cast into metal using different casting techniques. For our next project this term, we will also be learning how to use the lathe.

Drop by the college to see our last project on display outside the workshop, D Building, level 1. The Wabi/Sabi/Suki rings, made by Stage One students, are also currently on display.
