Intro. to Wax Carving for Jewelry Making

Learn the basics of wax carving for jewelry using simple, beginner-friendly tools. In this introductory workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience cutting and shaping wax to create your own unique pendant design, which will be cast in bronze and mailed to you after the workshop.

Some of the techniques you'll explore include:
