Learn how to create a three dimensional flower using soft wax to be cast into metal. I demonstrate how to cut, shape, texture and connect the wax petals using the additive technique. During this class I show how to make a hair stick, but this technique can be applied to many different forms of jewelry.
Learn how to work with a natural object to prepare it for casting to create a piece of jewelry. I demonstrate how to add additional wax elements like jump rings or rings to complete your design in this fun, experimental technique.
